Tyre casing

Dazzza

Has anyone busted one before, i have what looks like a sausage stuffed in my tyre, sidewall is fine but a good few inches of the tyre looks buggered, im assuming it's going to go bang!!

Yep, seen this plenty of time. If there's a blister on the tyre, get it replaced ASAP.
I had to wave goodbye to my long serving IRC Kujos a while ago, because they'd been cut right through whilst riding in the slate quarry.

Time to replace. If you take/send it back to where it came from, they might replace it.

Woah that's mad, won't be buying a crossmark then.

Im leaning towards the kenda excavator dtc, i could do with a good wearing all round tyre that doesn't drag too much, oh and it grips.

Im not using my nobby nics thems me race day tyres.

Does look like a good tyre that kenda.

Else, could look at conti rubber queens.

Had a nose at them, probably good in the mud but not very knobbly, plus me an continental don't get on very well, i had some protection vapours and they gripped and rolled well i was forever picking up thorn punctures.

From what i ca gather the excavators are a faster rolling, grippier version of the much loved nevegals, i have to admit im rather liking the tread pattern, someone else compared them to fire xc's and cinders and said the kendas rolled and gripped better as well.
