>tfw you hear that echo sound of running over something (usually a rock) on your bike and immediately think you just got a flat

anyone else know this feel? i get it at least 4-5 times per ride.

You're not alone, even with puncture resistant tires at high psi I still get paranoid about flatting the rear and find myself asking "does it feel different from a mile ago?"

yup exactly i ride on my memeskins at 110-120 psi and happens all the time. then again its probably the high psi that is causing the to fly out like that, always wonder where they go

Welp, iktf. Especially after I had a slow leak caused by a long thorn and didn't notice until the tire almost unseated mid turn from lack of pressure. It was a really unsettling feeling.

I remember once I pinch flatted both tires at once and lost all traction in the turn immediately after the pit of rocks I was riding through, never again will I neglect to check the tire pressure on my road bike.
