Rata Del Spruit Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I ended up with this twisted tyre after stacking a small jump on a casual ride yesterday. The kicker? The rim is still dead straight. http://i.imgur.com/IPk6Vdc.jpg

RocknRolla Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Tjoobliss? recently had a kenda karma go all wonky, sealant seemed to have penetrated the inside layer into the canvas and caused the deformation. Throw away, get new. Edit: Typing during friday beers... Edited January 10, 2014 by RocknRolla

Throw away, get new. Edit: Typing during friday beers... Yeah, tubeless, glad to know it's not my unique riding style and, coincidentally, it's also a Kenda. Fortunately I recently ordered a High Roller as a backup.
Wil6 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 How old is this tyre? Maybe ask for a replacement if its still relatively new
Rata Del Spruit Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 How old is this tyre? Maybe ask for a replacement if its still relatively new Nah, it's had a good run, I think. I've just never seen a tubeless tyre twist like that before.
RocknRolla Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Heat also is a factor, mine deformed after a particularly hot day in the car, and the age of the tyre. Mine had a very good run. Really love the value for money aspect of the kenda tyres.
Baaisikilist Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 That tyre had seen better days before you did that to it... Rata Del Spruit 1
DR ◣◢ Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 That tyre made some funny noises on our last ride. Now I know why. Damn.

BarHugger Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Had the same experience with a Continental Mountain King (2.4). Also thought I bent the rim. Edited January 11, 2014 by BarHugger fanievb 1
Kranswurm Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Stopped using Kendas after the 2nd one became an oversized wors due to the ammonia in the sealant
PhilipV Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 the tyre delaminated. sealant/amonnia basically ate the glue between the layers of rubber. I've had it happen on kenda, conti and intense tyres. Rata Del Spruit 1
Goodbadugly Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Just a bad tire. The reinforcement in the casing broke. I had a Intense system 2 tire that broke like that with a tube. No sealant came close to my tire.
fanievb Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Had the same experience with a Continental Mountain King (2.4). Also thougjht I bent the rim. +1, mountain king writtten off and brand new mavic wheel bent after 4 days, guys at the lbs had a good laugh
