The torn tyre not quite worn so have not yet binned it, but did not mind changing as into the end game for it for sure, the wee wear indicator holes were still visible but quite rubbed down. The sidewall tear maybe 5mm.</p> <p>Used the wee heater Scottish hydro gave us when they broke our boiler to slightly warm the gator for the last little chord.</p> <p>Inflate deflate all fine.</p> <p>Cleaned the bike a little. Not so as IWRATS could eat his dinner off it but took advantage of getting In When wheel off. Bit of salt around maybe just a soupcon.</p> <p>The rear brakes do not have much rubber left and the wheel is a little bit concave. So it goes. The rear cassette fine. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344228 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 17:06:11 +0000 chdot 344228@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>End in tears. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344222 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:14:58 +0000 gembo 344222@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Alright, alright, alright already I am going back out once I load up the stove for Mrs Garto </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344220 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:08:42 +0000 wingpig 344220@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What if it blows out overnight and wakes you up? Vertical tear will be getting lightly squidged and relaxed with every revolution. Remember what happened to airlock no. 1 in the book of The Martian. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344219 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:06:35 +0000 gembo 344219@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wingpig, lucky I picked that gatorskin up at Decathlon today then. Are you saying out to the garage now? Can it wait til after tomorrow’s cycle? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344217 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:00:39 +0000 I were right about that saddle 344217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wingpig is as correct as he is strict. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344216 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 15:56:43 +0000 wingpig 344216@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Risk of it suddenly deciding to run too great, even if booted. Cease use and replace. If you're unable to get a replacement delivered I still have a wee store of half-used tyres in the shed, originally being kept in case if zombie apocalypse but equally applicable for other ages of scarcity. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20468#post-344214 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 15:50:10 +0000 gembo 344214@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a vertical tear in the sidewall of Black Chilli compound Conti road tyre. Is at hi pressure an a sort but if black plastic is protruding a little.</p> <p>Can I glue it just run with it or is it time to buy that daft Italian tyre? </p>
