The rear tire was properly inflated to 28psi and I was cruising with a moderate load on asphalt. Really no pinching should have ocurred. I just changed out the old tube for a brand new (but cheap quality) tube. Rode the bike today for 3 hours under similar conditions and no problems. I did however bump the pressure up to 35psi, which seems a little extreme. It rode fine, though. Unfortunately I have to replace the tires anyway. They were original equipment on the bike from 1992 and while doing all of this tube work I noticed some cracking. So long as I can make it home with minimal flats. At least it's not the front tire!
