Time for a new tyre?

[swee'pea99]

I don't know, when you ride in the city you just have to accept the odd minor nick...

But is it just my imagination, or is there a bit of a bulge?

Yeah, I can't help thinking it might be time for a change...

Nothing a bit of superglue would not fail to fix.

Do you think your tyre has a hole which might lead to a puncture? Put a bit of superglue in it, let it set to a hard point aiming at your inner tube and make sure!

If you want to try sticking tyres back together, rubbery stuff like stormseal aimed at wetsuit repairs is far better - but I suspect the one in the OP has suffered some damage to the canvas.

It's goosed; the carcass is about to be rent asunder. And superglue doesn't work either, that's as big a myth as deflating tyres to fly.

Luckily I did not suggest that.

You've been riding that since the first and second pic. Now that it's got some stone in it it's basically toast. You could open a book on how many more miles you'll get out of it.......

That sounds like fun

I find these things hang on longer than you might think. I'm guessing about another 100 miles before a spectacular blow out. Keep riding it @swee'pea99 but be sure to log your miles to keep us amused, ok?

Duck tape boot and you'll be fine for another few months I reckon.

Nah - the pics were all taken within a minute. Sorry to spoil the fun but I decided to push the boat out and go for a new tyre. I know, what am I like?

Superglue is indeed useless. 100 yards and it will have opened up again due to the tyre flexing as it rolls.*

*Cue post from someone who's tyre fell in half and after supergluing it back together it lasted another 30,000 miles.
