Default Puncture or not?

Heard a loud pop today whilst riding, like a party popper.

Got off the bike (rear tyre was wet),and noticed a pin hole in the rear tread with bubbles forming (great a puncture )

I left the bike from about 11am -5pm and checked the tyre pressure ~30 psi?

Is it just a slow puncture? I would have thought the tyre would have gone flat in that time frame?

Has the rear tyre contracted/cooled and closed the puncture?

Tah

The "pop" was probably what ever your tyre picked up coming out and hitting the rear undertray of the bike
You will still have the puncture,its just slow
You will find out if it is flat at the bottom tomorrow
