Hmmph. Once last year we went away for a few days and when we returned I found a Shraeder valve had popped off the tube. It just seems to have torn off the tube. Must have made a healthy bang in the empty house because it would have been pumped to around 110psi at the time.
Tomorrow I'm doing the bike commute thing again...
