It is a good idea to mark the location of the valve on the outside of the tire before you remove the tire after getting a flat. That's so you can exactly line up the the hole in the tube with both the rim and with the inside of the tire casing. This narrows down where you have to look for the cause of the puncture be it on the tire or on the rim. Carefully feel around inside the tire for something protruding through the tire casing. Look at the rim for a burr near where the hole in the tube lines up with its position on the rim. In the worst case you would be far better simply buying a new wheel rather than an entire bike.
