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.

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

PM-ed about the saddle

Was idly cutting across Primrose Hill recently (which you're not supposed to do). It was about 6.30pm, dark and empty but suddenly realised there was a car following me which kind of freaked me out as the path is pretty narrow. I rode on thinking it must be the parky but then the sirens went on and got a pretty aggressive stop. Took all my details which I gave honestly and told I might get a fine.
Nothing as yet but put me off from that shortcut again.

Any recommendations for tyres suitable for the white gravel of l'eroica?
I'll be riding on Mavic MA-2 rims 13mm width so Sheldon says tyres should be 25 max (ideally).
I rode on a different bike with wider rims last year so would be grateful for any suggestions. I was going to go for Pasela Tour Guards but have read that they're not so good at 25. Vittoria Paves seem to be popular but are quite pricey.
Cheers!

If anyone encounters this problem in future, removing the brake lever is the way to loosen the clamp but my clamp (as suggested by Hilly Ben) was a bit stuck fast and after a bit more wiggling and coaxing I could move it.

Thanks. Will give it a go.
You've lost me ?!
