Strange tire wear at rim (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by hangyor@sh.itjust.works to c/bicycles@lemmy.ca

Was going to go for a simple ride tonight. Noticed this strange wear on my tire right next to the rim. Is this bad/a big deal?

Update: thank you all for your quick replies! I will be not be riding it and change it out. My rim is definitely very slightly bent, I can feel it when I ride. Definitely need a new bike since I know I'm too heavy for this bike.

I'd take the tire off for a proper look, but to be really clear: This looks like a damaged bead, that's bad. As in tire might fly off the rim bad.

Unless you know based off a closer look that it's fine, don't ride on this tire.
