Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I’m brand spanking new to cycling and replaced my first flat and think I damaged the tire in the process. It’s an old tire and I did the replacement by hand without using a screwdriver but I didn’t notice this before changing it. by LucidAnimal Bicycling Biking Cycling
