what happend to my tyre

[stewie911]

So, I'm making ready for tonights night ride. I spin my rear wheel to see if the rotor rubs and wham: My tyre is stuck against the frame.

 

 

It's worst than the picture indicates.

It's a kenda tyre UST with Stans sealant. Has been running tubeless for about 3 months now.

 

I deflated the tyre and pumped it up again. Twist doesn't go away.

Your wife/girlfriend doesn't want you spending so much time on the bike?

tire looks pretty worn? old age/factory defect..

[stewie911]

Too young to be married and no girl. Haven't been on the bike since Sunday. I'm getting jittery

Tyre still has plenty of life left. Will open it up when I have time, to see what goes on on the inside.

 

Luckily I have a mountain king to put on.

1. Tokoloshe?

 

2. Jurius Marema?

 

3. Dare I mention the word....delamination.(Unless the unseen rim has been attacked by 1 or 2 above with a bobbejaan spanner?

Had the same problem today at the shop... 3 month old karma ust did that same thing. Had a Nevengal that did it aswell

[stewie911]

Delamination is my fear yes.

 

Only time will tell.

[Sammajoor]

Heard that the Amonia in the Stans,makes the tyre delaminate and pull apart.

[stewie911]

Also heard that, but I thought stans was the one without amonia, which is obviously wrong, cause I checked 1 min ago.

and it only seems to be Kenda tyres, the Maxxis hold perfectly

Ek Kenda tyres baie goed.....

Maybe a puncture from sunday, tyre deflated with not much stans left and the residue made it stick to the rim, drying with the air that came in with the hole ?

[Mutt]

someone posted on the hub a while back he hung it on the back of his car and the heat from the exhaust damaged the tyre. Possibility?

[johannrissik]

OK, last guess........Adobe Photoshop?

[stewie911]

Don't know - Tyre seemed to have same pressure as sunday.

 

How do I fix it. I did unflate it and it seemed fine, but when I inflated again, it got back to this.
