ya got factory 40 spokes up front? Ya got a rubber strip and a tube and ya probably got a puncture in your tube. Get a new tube and load er up. I would do it like that but most other will tell you to repair the rim first. I would swap the tube out and keep my fingers crossed and if it happened again then I would attempt the repair. Just me man.

Welcome to the forum too!
