Mine is bigger than yours!

[Helpmytrap]

I set off with changing the front tire from a Cross Mark to a Rocket Ron. In the process of draining the sealant out of the tire, this bugger came rolling down! I have no idea how it even formed since I have never 'bombed' the tire before (unless my LBS did it to seat the tire originally.) Any idea how it would form otherwise? I'm not sure what sealant it was...

On another note, I was able to seat the tire with a floor pump which was a first!

I knew a comment of that nature was going to come up.

Well as far as the grass is concerned, it rains all year round since I wash the bikes there.

Good Lord, it is enormous! Looks like something a tramp hacked up after a rough night.

You're lucky getting that tyre to seat with a pompie

[madvics]

Gotta admit that lawn is really green for this time of of year,and that thumb,well nuff said!

[Helpmytrap]

It is all the muscle in my palm that makes it look as if my thumb is, uh short.

[crasher]

I got similar looking one from the inside of my tyre which had only had stans added and tyre had never been bombed either pretty sure that was stans.

I have had two of these growths from different bikes after long term use with Stan's. There must be something that makes the Stans crystallise around some impurity or dirt in the tyre. If you leave it in the sun, it will gradually shrivel up to a much smaller piece of rubber. I must admit yours is not necessarily bigger but it is certainly thicker .... or maybe it is just an optical illusion caused by your deformed thumb?
