Hi chaps,

I've been leaning quite a lot on the bike, and drifting the rear wheel around corners which I think has had an undesired affect on my tyres.

I have a tiny gash just above the bead, where the rim meets the tyre. Looks like its folded a bit over onto the rim and cut the tyre. I run my pressures quite high for tubeless at about 30psi rear so shouldn't happen.

Anyway.... I'm guessing sealant won't fix it, would super glue do he job or will it rip again?

Cheers chaps, I won't be riding for a few weeks as I smashed up my face and wrist si have time to repair

Ricks

Any of the evening crowd had this happen, and fixed it?

how old is it?
I had the bead come away on a nearly new road tyre so sent pictures to Chain Reaction, where it was bought from and they sent me a new one.
Could be a manufacturing fault - have a word with where you bought it from.
I doubt you'd be able to fix it.

New tyre, not worth the faff and potential failure somewhere it's a proper pain to fix

Poo. It's a 2 ride old MK2, so £40 worth of tyre....

send it/ take it back to where you bought it from then. sounds like it's a faulty tyre.
