I was racing the Gorrick yesterday and thought I’d been buzzed by the chap behind a couple of times…. Anyway – the bike then starts to feel like I have a flat – all over the place on corners. Stopped to check it out and the tyre is still full of air.
Continue, look down and see that the whole thing is wobbling from left to right like a massive buckle in the wheel. Nursed it to the end of the race and took a proper look.
The wheel is fine – but tyre (Tubeless Conti X King) has gone from being fine at the start of the race to having developed a massive imperfection – and now almost buzzes the chainstay as it rotates.
Anyone else ever experienced this? I’ve taken it off, reseated it and it’s no different. Other tyres on the same rim are absolutely fine.
Baffling…
