DownhillingKing Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I have done 2 rides since I purchased these tyres one up to the Mast and the other up to the Block House and they have already split on the side walls!! With the tube bulging out the side of the tyre. Has this ever happened to anyone else before as I heard they are really good tyres but from this I will never buy them again.
Flowta Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Post a picture. Any idea how/where the tear occured? Depending on how the tear occured you might be able take it back to the shop you got it from and see if the agents will replace it.
DownhillingKing Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 Here you go and you the big black zit sticking out the tyre is the tube
Goodbadugly Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Two rides? Get a warantee replacement. Unless you damaged/cut the sidewall "downhilling", king...
DownhillingKing Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 But they not even on my DH rig so I wasn't doing anything hec tec
mtbvip Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I have been using Crossmarks for the last year. I ride 6 times a week - never had a sidewall cut. Pretty much rode them without any problems
DownhillingKing Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 are they the foldable one's are you running tubeless full sus bike or hardtail
Wernervdmerwe Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Had Crossmarks on my hardtail and dual-sus, necer had anything like that happen to me - maybe a manufacturing fault on that one?
Willehond Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Hmmm, any chance you got some Stans/Slime/other sealant in those tyres? That sounds like another occurance of the dreaded sealant delamination...
Cassie Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Not if a tube is protruding.... I think this is delamination causing the weakspot...take em back and kick up a fuss...two rides is unacceptable!
Willehond Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Ah, the pic is a bit blurry and I'm tired. Thought it was a bubble un der the tyre wall. Yes, bad tyre. DEMAND a replacement
Coimbra Cycle House Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 That is just a normal sidewall cut.They call it bad luck!!!!
mouse A Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 I have ridden over some hectic rocks at speed with mine and never had a problem.Take them back
