Hi

 

I have a set of these on my bike, around 2000km's on them and one of them the tread completely delaminated and the tube popped as well.... never had that happen before. Searching the net I cant find too many of these incidents occurring.

 

anyway, anyone have any ideas why this happened, has it happened to anyone else?

 

Luckily it was in my garage when I noticed the delamination, was going to change out the tyre this evening anyway, this morning I hear a loud noise and tube popped now ..thought it was a gun shot at first.

Same happened to my  red Pro 4  roughly done 800KM on them, tread came off the casing.

Mine are red too... 800 kays is way to little. I bought mine from Chris willemse about 9 months ago. Where did you get yours? possibly a bad batch somewhere.

It could possibly be old stock that the shop had? When did you buy the tyres and at what shop?

If you read the post you quoted then you would notice the part about buying them from Chris Willemse...

:P

Sorry, that's probably why.  They have lank old stock. The only supplier who has all the latest and new stock is National Cycles.

well then that stock should of been sent back. If this had happened at an event or at speed the consequences could of been sad, very sad. So guess I am lucky.
