NotSoBigBen Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Ever seen/had something like this happen?
NotSoBigBen Posted November 16, 2016 Author Posted November 16, 2016 is that a spoke or a foreign object? A nail of sorts, not so easy to get it out with my not so manly emergency pliers I carry ....
RocknRolla Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Looks like serious nail went through the side of the tire into the rim? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
V12man Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Ever seen/had something like this happen? WhatsApp Image 2016-11-16 at 12.50.07.jpegJust like that - through the spoke hole tape.... very very annoying when you run tubeless....
Eugene Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Same thing happened to me. The nail went through the tyre and right through the brake surface of the rim. The issue was trying to get the nail out so that I could replace the tube.
Veebee Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Happened to a mate on his 2 day old Mavic R-SYS... you can only imagine what his mood was like.
Skinnyone Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Yep, there was a pic in a mag many years ago where the nail went thru the Conti Gatorskin and thru both sides of a Mavic Ksyrium. The "official" statement from Conti was along the lines of; it must be photoshopped, we can believe the rim but never the tyre....
Paul Ruinaard Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 I heard a tinkling noise from one of my wheels on my CX bike that is tubeless, only to open it up and find the top piece of a rivet inside the tyre. The only way it could have got there is by being inserted from the outside. Tubeless had held up. I am damned if I know where and how i managed to get it in there.
crasher Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Couple weeks ago I had nail punch through rim 3 times was running rim tape on ZTR crests so resulted in a walk

Slowbee Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 jislaaik, another weight weenie movie! drilling holes in your frame to loose weight is one thing, but to now show fake nail holes take this to a hole new level
