Went to work this morning on my road bike I pumped the tyres up to 115 psi before I left, got to work and put the bike in the boiler room as usual and locked the door, went to get it this afternoon and the rear inner tube had exploded blowing 8 inches of the tyre ( brand new Michelin pro 4) off the rim in the process! How is this possible?....glad I wasn't descending a hill when it happened
