All -
Thanks for the input.
Pinch: It's possible that the tube was pinched, although I always
inflate 'em a bit before tucking them inside. Also, I've used this
tire for a couple of commutes already, and would have thought that a
pinch would have made itself manifest before now. No?
Not necessarily. The tire that blew that way while I was in my car
driving down the road had just been on a 50 mile bike ride with no trouble.
Temp: There's not much of a temperature differential between my
basement and my kitchen. Because my son lives down there, the
basement sometimes is actually warmer than upstairs.
Pressure: I often run my 50mm tires at 60 psi, although I think I'll
drop that down to 40 or so based on this experience. (As an
experiment, I once ran 'em up to 80 psi and was almost literally
bounced off the bike. Not recommended.)
Definitely not. Not only because you ruin the ride, but also because
over-inflated fat tires can develop a wicked bounce that can take the
handlebars right out of your hands. Happened to me once on a Bruce
Gordon Rock 'n Road tire, back before any of us knew anything about tire
pressure other than what was written on the sidewall.
