Hey guys. This unfortunate thing happened to me today.303168
I found a huge as blade sticking out of my tire while on the way to Uni. Took it off and it left this cut.
I haven't noticed any air loss after an hour but I'm very worried that it could get worst. Should i just bring it to the shops to be repaired?
Is it even repairable??!?

But that requires working from the inside of the tire?
What kind of tube?

Don't fuck around with tyres - take it to the shop for advice at the least.

Stick a screwdriver in it and give it a wee twist. If you see coards its fucked, if its just rubber than its OK.

It happens I replace the tyre. Don't want to deal with tyre issues when riding if I can avoid it.

I left a set of BT015's at the shop with only 600 miles on them, just did not want tyres in the garage, didn't think to check if someone wanted them.

I didn't read the small letters but this seems like the best option.
