The left rear tire on my D19 has gone flat three times in the last ten days, and the right rear once.
The fellow from the local Coop that's worked on it blamed rust on the rim. (There once was calcium chloride in the tires, but not any more). Yesterday morning I had him pull the tire clear off the rim so I could get the rim sand blasted, which I did. Then got to looking at the hole in the tube and it was obvious it had been pinched when he mounted it last time a couple of days ago. Rust on the rim will never make that clean a cut.
Then when I was working on the left rear tire, I noticed the left front is flat. That I can handle myself.
The first time it went down, the fellow from the Coop blamed the last guy who mounted the tires last fall for pinching the tube.
I need to paint the rim today to get it ready to put back on, (see my thread about replacing the axle seal), but I'll either do it myself or get someone entirely different.
