Hmm.. I think I need new tires.

Post by Fender943 » Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:12 am

So I was riding home last night and I could tell that something felt different about my bike. I didn't know if it was me being tired or that something was wrong with it. So I got home and went to sleep. I decided to check my bike over and I couldn't find anything wrong. So I rolled the bike forward and I found this.

How could I have been so careless and let my tires get this bad?? :HeadScratch:
So it looks like I'm out for any riding this weekend.

New tire time always sucks because of the money, but awesome because you get to try different yires

So where is a good place to buy tires? I don't want to bring a bottle of K-Y with me..

If youre wantn one right now...your best bet is to hit cycle gear. They usually have a good selection and can mount it for you too.

I'll be sure to check them out.. I should get it done in the next few days :D
And to be perfectly honest, I hate the current tires on it right now.

Tires are pratically a 0 profit for most places so if you can find a cheap set online with free shipping that's your best/cheapest option. However, CycleWerkz does have good prices and then you don't have to worry about bringing your bike AND new tire in for mounting.

Funds are a little low right now.. So I was thinking about painting my bike while it's down.
Any suggestions?
