Nail in the tire

[S.D.Willie]

to be honest dude. that doenst look like a nail to me, it almost just looks like a rock. How sharp it had to be to pierce your tire... thats questionable, but the texture looks like a little pebble IMHO

i agree, and i hope youre right. Wont know till i go to my friends house. Id rather try to mess with it at his house then my own incase i have to take the tire off.

I had HUGE screw in my front tire this summer, and I got it in the morning when I suppose to go to the bike run. Thankfully day went fine my front tire didn't blow off, screw didn't come out. I got tires changed two days later - didn't want to risk. I wouldn't ride with nail/screw in the tire(s) on the bike.

So be carefull.

Best Regards...

I know. I was just lucky i never had an issue with 16k miles on another set of tires on another bike. My friend was nice enough to give me his mean streak tire incase i needed it. The size is 180x55x17. Not sure if i can use it yet but theres good tread on it.

Close but no cigar. It was a little piece of glass that came right out, fellow forum member fb400 had my back incase we had to change the but when he pulled that little sliver out easily i was so elated. It really was small, it just looked big. :rockon:
I was lucky for once.
