Bubble on tyre

[corrie.kuilder]

I converted from runnung tubes,to tubeless during september. I bought Maxxis crossmark's lust 26x2.1 tyres,and since then rode happily on them,and accumulated roughly 800km on them. This morning,while washing my mtb, I noticed a "bubble" on the rear tyre. I do inflate the rear tyre to 3.2bar,and the terrain I ride on do have rocks,but surely it would rather cut the tyre? Is it possibly a factory fault,and should I rather replace the tyre and keep this one as a spare on a trail? Included are some pictures of the bubble.

And the terrain I ride on

its delaminating, That tyre is factory faulted and therefore, i personally wouldn't use it.

This happened a number of times with a friend of mine. Also on Maxxis. I must admit, at the same time never happened to me. He also likes to ride with high tyre pressures. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Where you shooting the AK in the profile pic?

[W@nna-BE]

take the tyre back

[jagwil]

Buy a new tyre and inflate it to 2.0 bar only.

Had the same problem about three weeks ago.

 

I had Kenda on and bubble on the side wall - Front and Back

 

Had to replace both tyres and then realized what a mission it become to find tyres for a 26er now

On the tyre issue, will the lbs replace it?

On the other issue, lol, yes I did, went for foreign weapons handling course, and absolutely loved it.

You in the SAPS?

Had it happen to a Conti and it was replaced.

Lost 2 x Crossmarks quite quickly. Stans used in both. Fortunately both replaced by the lbs. 3rd Crossmark was filled with some green stuff and I haven't had a worry since then. I also don't inflate them over 2 bar

Why should the LBS replace it. 800 km. Overinflated. Just buy a new tyre.

[corrie.kuilder]

On the issue of tyre pressure, the maxxis are rated up to 4bar, and I never inflated them higher than 3.2. (Taking rider weight into account as well). I will probably get a new tyre if not replaced, I need a tyre to ride, lol, but it will be so nice if the lbs replace it, if they do, I will rave, if they don't, I will not rant, because I only received good service from them so far, and surely with kind of high milage, they are not obliged to.

I agree. Just replace it. You have had decent mileage from the tyre. I dont think it is a manufacturing fault. But that is IMO

Just puncture the bubble with the tip of your pocket knife.

Ride it till it fails completely and DON"T over inflate it. 2.0-2.2bar is more than enough.

1.7-2 bar (depending on your weight) will give a much smoother ride than 3+ bar...and better traction.
