Random punctures on the turbo trainer!!

Ok, I went up to do my training session on the turbo today, and had another flat tyre to deal with! This is the 2nd time its happened as far as I remember. It baffles me how I could get a flat indoors. I did 3 sessions on it indoors before hand so reckon its minimal chance It was a slow puncture from the road.

Bizarre!

Road tyre? Little stones get embedded in the rubber but don’t puncture straight away, over time they work their way deeper and puncture. I regularly inspect tyres and ping out a couple of stones before use on turbo

Oops, didn’t realize I posted this twice. Kept on getting an error message so didn’t think it went through.

And ye it’s a road tyre, could maybe be little stones or glass I suppose.

Have you binned or checked and repaired the tube?
Reason I ask is that one of my recent punctures was from oil degrading the tube rather than anything pointy. I’d recently rebuilt the wheel with a new rim (and I use chain or fork oil on the nipples as per the wheelpro book) and in my hurry (commuter bike night before work!) I hadn’t cleaned the inside properly afterwards: particularly oily nipple made oil seep through cloth rim tape and pershed a hole in the tube.

check the valve it may be ripping from the tube,

Yep, thought it could have been a slow puncture to tried pumping it up, but I heard and felt air coming straight from the valve area.

I was plagued with punctures even on the turbo for a while. Tried new tyres, new tubes, carefully checked the rim 100 times….it ended up being the plastic rim strip that was causing it…
