Think this proves it is a knackered tyre.</p> <p>A re-tyred (studded) wheel was waiting for me. I'm keeping studs on for a while yet. See <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-30519215"><em>"There's a higher chance of getting snow over Easter in the UK than there is at Christmas."</em></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181989 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 20:46:31 +0000 gembo 181989@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Twas a good turn out today, good to see you all and then on my route back along canal spotted farings man on the leamington lift bridge then Big John coming off the aqueduct in a very sturdy anorak and stout shoes plus two orange poly bags inside each other. He was very cheerful in our greeting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181961 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 14:18:38 +0000 chdot 181961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/rocM68"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8654/16660180021_e09def7efd.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181958 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 14:17:10 +0000 LaidBack 181958@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>See you then.<br /> Open every Saturday 10 - 6 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181952 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 13:49:50 +0000 HankChief 181952@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks Laidback. </p> <p>If it could be sorted with an appropriate tube that would be great.</p> <p>I can pop into town tomorrow afternoon to swap wheels back assuming you'll be in the shop. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181949 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 13:02:16 +0000 LaidBack 181949@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Exhibit A was taken round to forensics at the Bicycle Works.<br /> </em><br /> Looked at it and reckons it's a combo of having a 1.75 tube used on the narrower 1.5 tyre along with not being seated and the tube not distributed evenly. We got it on evenly again. I can put narrower inner in and keep the wider one for the Big Apple. He doesn't think tyre is damaged. Schwalbe can stand a bit.</p> <p>Let me know whether you want it sorted and can swap wheel back onto our Helios.</p> <p>NiallA - pump at shop when you next drop in. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181945 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:23:13 +0000 kaputnik 181945@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Potentially the beading got stretched </em></p> <p>Is this even possible with a wire bead? (I do not think they do studdlies with aramid folding beads) Is it not more likely that the hook on the rim has been damaged/bent with, for instance, over-exuberance with a steel tyre lever? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181944 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:21:24 +0000 NiallA 181944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers, HankChief - that'll work a treat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181943 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:17:22 +0000 HankChief 181943@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good to chat this morning.</p> <p>Niall - thanks for the loan of the pump - I've left it with Laid back as I assume that would be easy for it to get back to you.</p> <p>Laidback - thanks for the loan of the wheel - made it safely would work if a bit late...</p> <p>The reason for this scenanigans...</p> <p>Heading away from PY I got to the blood transfusion place when my front wheel went funny. The studded tyre had come off the rim but not burst the tube - hence a walk back to PY for some solidarity in adversity.</p> <p>Potentially the beading got stretched when the mechanic was putting the tyre back on - got it back last night. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181942 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:58:12 +0000 NiallA 181942@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice to meet a couple of people at the tail end of the PY late shift - hope the exploding Helios wheel got sorted out! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181928 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:24:24 +0000 fimm 181928@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Damn, forgot. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14326#post-181926 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 08:55:34 +0000 Min 181926@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Meh, I slept in a wee bit and since a tolerable ride at 7.15 has pretty much become a white knuckle death route by 7.30 I decided to opt out.
