  • What's the general opinion on tyre sidewall cracks? This appears to have parted between the tan and black sections. It will be run at fairly low pressure 80 psi but might see some loaded and/or towpath use.

    80psi is not "fairly low"

    Cracked rubber is usually a sign of age embrittlement, and where the rubber leads, the nylon carcase threads usually follow. That said, I've seen much worse being ridden, and the fact that it's separated at the join probably says more about how badly the two-shot moulding was done in the first place than the level of deterioration since.
