tyre came off rim

chilled rider · June 2007

Last week whilst doing a spot of xc, and on the way down a steep hill my tyre came off the rim. Was this due to the tyre spinning on the rim as i braked? To note my rear disc pads worn out also on the way down and my front disc took the brunt of things.

it happens. some tyres have an anti slip bead to reduce this happening.

could it have been from a lack of preasure?
The only other thing I can think is when rim tape starts to get old it can shift the tyres about in my experiance.

It's normally due to the tyres being run too soft.
