Happened again!

in General Chat
I got another flat on the trainer last night, seems to happen every few weeks - VERY annoying.
I have tried varying pressure in the tyre and have made sure that the tyre and rim are fine and clean.
Do any of you have this annoying problem?
Which tube make do you use for the turbo?
I am using a blue TACX trainer tyre....on a TACX Flow.

I've got the Tacx Flow as well and never had a flat on the turbo. In fact its been yonks since I had a flat with my clinchers. I'm running Panaracer Winter Tyres with Continental tubes. Pumped to 100psi.
Have you checked the tyre for debris?
Not that I think this should matter but do you calibrate the turbo before using it?
I was wondering if heat would be causing the tube to burst....maybe I'll try some Conti tubes.
I am currently using tubes from Schwalbe.
Do you have a cat or is the Missus sabotaging your training?
Seems weird tbh!!
When you repair the tube what do find in the tyre that causes it if anything?
Really flex the tyre when you inspect it as thorns can get buried inside the carcass and be hidden...until you lob in 100 psi to push against it.
Very odd
Put new rim tape in the wheel.
It could be the actual wheel rather than the tyre,
PS Prior to me changing tyres i just did a quick inspection but this was obviously not good enough
I have Schwalbe Lugano tyres on my winter/ turbo bike, cheap and cheerful at only £10 from wiggle.

I cant see the inner tubes being the problem, have you used a different tyre to see how that goes?
