My tyre was rubbing against the chainstay and got rather hot and swollen. The sidewall was bulging by 2-3cm where it was scuffing but reverted back to shape once it cooled down.
I've taken the tyre off and the rubber around the beading is peeling away. Question is: have I proper knacked the tyre? And, if is is knackered, is it safe to get me home tonight (10miles)?
