I had a horrible experience over the weekend. Myself and the wife took a quick ride to PE and on the way back doing 230  i saw this horrible warning light flashing " warning low pressure front wheel" it went flat instantly. The Good Lord was definitely with us.I tried to fix it but with no success. Took it back to PE on Monday,when they took the tyre of the rim i understood why i couldn't fix it. The RIM GASKET popped out. They replaced it with a new one and checked the rim for any irregularity. Tyre pressure was 2.4 when we started riding and it went up to 2.7  Has anyone ells experienced this before and what can I do to prevent this from happening again?
