I've received delivery of a schwalbe marathon plus tyre (my size is 700 - 25c) but there is a kink in one of the wire beads, I suspect broken. I hear these are difficult to fit but have watched a helpful video and would be confident to manage this however the doubt about the wire bead integrity is niggling me - plus if I attempt to fit and there is an issue there I don't then know if there would likely cause any issues in my commute with a dodgy bead?
What do you reckon? Should I contact the seller about returning the tyre for a replacement or would you think it'll be fine?
(thanks)
