Good idea Gary! Although my trug didn't think so. It's definitely the tyre itself there's a very tiny hole, nothing protuding, I'm guessing it's a thorn of some kind that snapped off since I went through a lot of hedge cuttings on my last ride. What's a little curious is there's something that looks like a plug not far away (1cm) from the puncture and I don't recall having a prior puncture with this set.

It's lost 6 psi in about 9 hours.

I want to try the Michelins on the SV so I'll just get them swapped.
