RatherBeMTB Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Good evening hubbers, I went for a ride this afternoon and after about 5k's this is what happened to the rear tire (See pictures attached). The tire has about 600k's of mileage on and was regularly filled up with Stan's sealant for tubeless tires. The tire in question is a Maxxis Icon UST 29er (Tubeless). I am running about 2.3 Bar (230kPa) of pressure in the tire. PLEASE HELP?? Recommendations?? Edited July 14, 2014 by Admin
Firemeister Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Not need for concern. Just a small air bubble on the outer layer of rubber I've had the same, on the same set of tyres Just stick a needle into it and deflate that section, you'll be fine again. Mine still running 100% Redlight and Stretch 2
TheV Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Hi Ludolf, welcome to thehubsa. Buy a continental Race-King for real, and X-King for the fron, and never worry about grip, punctures, weight, speed or anything tire related again.  2.3 bar is high, the trend is lower pressures nowadays, try going down slowly. fanievb, nonky, ChUkKy and 1 other 4
Guest Karma Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Pressure is a bit high? I run 1.7 front and 1.8 rear. nonsense.
V12man Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 nonsense.Whats the nonsense? I run UNDER 1.2 front and rear....
Guest Karma Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Whats the nonsense? I run UNDER 1.2 front and rear.... That the pressure it a bit too high
Tumbleweed Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Go to the first picture and scroll up and down using your mouse's roller. Quite a freaky effect. Louzy 1
BarHugger Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Pop it like a pimple........and post the video........possible Youtube gold. Damage to internal casing/threads/material. Patch inside, refill with Stans.....good to go (or just tube it if money is a factor - slime tube) PS: As stated, you can run it at a lower pressure Edited July 14, 2014 by BarHugger nonky and ChUkKy 2
