Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Got a flat. Big hole in the tube. What causes this? Was it caused by not noticing the flat and riding the rim? Or did this cause the hole in the tube? by serrinSR Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
New_Schedule6009 on January 24, 2024 1:07 am I would say yes. I don’t know if you can repair a sidewall.
Global_Discussion_81 on January 24, 2024 1:21 am Yes. General rule of thumb is if you can see through the hole, it’s time to replace it. Especially on the sidewall like that.
RepresentativeKeebs on January 24, 2024 1:35 am Sidewalls can’t be patched, and they are the weakest part of the tire. Time to replace it
Working-Promotion728 on January 24, 2024 2:08 am Is there a whitish ring around the tire like that on both sides? Looks like something was rubbing it until it wore through.
