My plan to start before 11 AM and ride my <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Balmoral &#8211; W Lake Houston Pkwy &#8211; Walden<\/strong> route got interrupted by a flat rear tire on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 bike. As I walked by and squeezed the rear tire it was flat. At least the flat happened at home and not on the road like yesterday. Inspecting the tire I found a tiny piece of wire sticking out opposite the valve. Easier than yesterday&#8217;s flat on my Cervelo Caledonia. Pulling the TPU out of the rear tire finding the hole wasn&#8217;t easy. It took pumping the tube up and passing the tube near my lips to feel a very small stream of air coming out. I marked the spot with a pen after using sandpaper on the area and placed an adhesive patch over it. With the tube back in the tire I got ready to ride giving the patch time to leak if I missed the hole. Ready to roll about 15 minutes later the tire was rock solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"65171\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-10-2024-canyon-endurace-rear-tire-flat-culprit-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1928&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1928\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.95&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pixel 8 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1715336772&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.23&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1510&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.041666&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-2\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-2&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-2&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?fit=598%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?fit=797%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"65171\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-797x600.jpg?resize=797%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-2\" class=\"wp-image-65171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?resize=797%2C600&amp;ssl=1 797w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?resize=598%2C450&amp;ssl=1 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?resize=638%2C480&amp;ssl=1 638w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1157&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1542&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-2-scaled.jpg?w=2400 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace Rear Tire Flat Culprit-2<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"65172\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/5-10-2024-canyon-endurace-rear-tire-flat-culprit-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/5-10-2024-Canyon-Endurace-REar-Tire-Flat-Culprit-3-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1928&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1928\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.95&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pixel 8 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1715337536&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.23&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;441&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.022453&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-3\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-3&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;5-10-2024 Canyon Endurace REar Tire Flat Culprit-3 Paper is 1&amp;#8243;

The weather changed from yesterday&#8217;s haze and humidity when a front moved through shifting the wind to the NNE. This helped biking south but the return trip required hard pedaling to finish at 2:24 PM. I stopped at the Blue Lagoon in Balmoral for these photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex
