Thump thump thump

Hello all.

Today on the way home a trek about 130 km's i developed a "thump thump thump" That sounds like its coming from the right rear tire. Sounds like it is flat. It is speed related, goin slow speeds (under 20km, nothing) Anything above it, it starts. Searching left results inconclusive..


Thanks

lol, reminds me a time with my dad and his van.

Im pulling out the alley and hes telling me "dont go down the alley, theres all kinds of **** there" but I go anyways cause its shorter. Pull out of the alley, hang a right, start driving down the road. merge into a larger street and start doin about 60 when thump-thump-thump starts happening somewhere on the passenger right wheel! it was getting pretty violent at higher speeds so we pull into the seven eleven.

Check the right front tire, and theres a ******* bolt stuck in it, a big one too, like huge! It was big, as in it had bits of asphalt stuck to it cause it was tearin up the road.


Anyways, moral of this is at lower speeds we didn't notice it for some strange *** reason, at higher speeds it was there. We didn't see it the first time we pulled over either.
So check the whole tire, everywhere at every angle, theres probably somethin stuck in it.

check for bubbles on the side of the tire, if there replace as you could get a blowout, not detectable at low speeds but as you go faster you can get the thump, Just my 2cents worth.
