rock in my tire.

[tristantumble]

Just noticed this today, was wondering if anyone has any suggestions in whether this is something that can be dangerous and needs fixing? Is it even fixable, or do I need to get a new rear tire? (there is only 5000km on the tire currently).




thanks.

I'd PM IZ, that guy has had more shit stuck in his tire then.....nevermind.


I personally wouldn't ride on that tire. Sucks, but it happens.

did you heat it up then run over that? maybe do a burnout and see if it flies out!

I'm in a similar boat but I bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered a new rear tire.  While on a ride this past weekend I got flat - on close inspection a huge screw of sorts made a hole and left a nice big mark.  I said f-it and ordered a new tire.

Pull it out with a pair of sidecutters and see how deep it is.

And are you sure that's a rock and not a nail?

If the damage is not deeper than the tread you will be fine.
