Last summer I had about 18 flat tyres on a journey. Most of these not punctures but just tyres that went flat while riding (including 7 times on one wheel on the Road of Bones). Each time we removed tube, test inflated in water, changed valve and reassembled having found nothing. It stayed up for between 2 to 6 hours riding (all on dirt) and quickly went down again.
I put a spare tube in at one point but the same happened a few times again!
We never solved the mystery.

We broke the beads very easily by using the side stand of the other bike.
In fact we got very efficient at it all!!
