Phantom puncture

Fixing up the Mrs' bike for the season. Pump up back tire: fine. Pump up front: no good. Try another pump: no good. Take wheel to a bike store in Roncesvalles in the smart car: feed meter, store closed. To Bloor West. The guy pumps up the tire no problem with his compressor. Buy spare tube. Refit wheel, oil chain, circuit of park to test. Let's hope the tire stays up and we are good to go.
