    Help! Tyres are broken!

    My tyres have two lines along the edges on both the back and front, how do I fix this?

    Stop drawing lines on your tires.

    Either use a short straw or rolled up notes to snort them away.

    Stop riding over paint.

    Those lines are called tread.

    Ah, I see what the problem is. You shouldn't have lines on there, they should be curves instead. You need to heat your tyres up to bend them back. They have to be heated evenly, mind - a trackday should do the trick.

    Either let all the air out before going for your next ride or drop it off here for half an hour or so & I'll remove them for a small fee.

    Will let all the air out next time I ride. ALL of it or just a certain amount? Will consider your offer if letting all the air out doesn't work.

    Needs to be ALL of it. If you send it to NASA then they can put it up in orbit and get one of their spaceymens to do it while they're out on a stroll.
