Morning all

I was changing an inner tube and noticed that the rubber is peeling from the bead of the tyre; I had quite a big blow out on this (please see attached photos). Hope it's not a daft question but does this make the tyre unsafe to use?

Thanks in advance

Yes. That's the part that keeps the clincher seated on the rim, once it comes off you'll continue to experience blowouts there.

Also, is it just rubber, or does that part contain a wire as well?

Still got the receipt?

Thanks for the replies. It's just rubber that's peeling off, no wire that I can see.

Unfortunately, I don't have any receipts for the tyres.

It's a pun that I now can't unsee. Here's Prop Joe.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
