Irons Posted September 7, 2017 Share I've had a slow leak on my back tyre over the past few days, and found this (see attached image). It seems the tyre has frayed, rather than just a break on the tubeless seal. Can this be fixed, or do you reckon it is time for new tyres? For context, this is a 29er wheel, conti tyres (very average), tubeless setup on a Zaskar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenReaper Posted September 7, 2017 Share Have seen many a Continental sidewall fray like that, seems that they don't add much rubber to the sidewall in a bid to save weight.I would rather replace if I were you.
