    If you can't find a puncture hole then it must be the valve failing... this seems to be an increasing problem, I've had 3 valves fail in the last 18 months, can't ever remember it happening in over 30 years of cycling before now!

    Obviously some very cheapo inner tubes out there.

    I am sick of valves not working correctly i have had a few in the last few months 2 had blowouts and 2 stuck solid after a unscrew..
    Also had problems with co2 and trying to get the pump head off after freezing to valve.:o
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Sorry, can't have much sympathy for someone who buys a pressurized can for such a low-tech task :D
