I ordered my sprockets from The Shop in Milwaukee Friday a few weeks ago, got it on Wednesday the following week.
Redid my front end. Swapped out the rim and tire. Brought the tire to the shop where I KNOW they cut the tire. They said they didnt. They also said they would take blame for it if they mounted it but there is no way to tell. They also said the wheel is good. That the cuts should wear down and since tube tire not much to worry. After bout 15 miles of riding the cut looks bigger. Is this tire shot?

Hope to get it down to the dmv next week and then ride it. Just knocking out the never ending punch list . Dont know if anyone goes through this but am scared shi@less wondering about what bolt I didnt tighten Matt
How would they have cut the tire like that mate? A "Tubed" tire is much more dangerous than a tubeless tire, as they can "blow out" (think of a balloon bursting) without any warning if they develop a bulge caused by air pressure against the weakest part. (that cut, for instance)
My guess would be, if it had a label wrapped around it like this one, they didn't have enough common sense to cut it off from the inside, but rather, used the razor blade to cut the label off from the tread side.QuoteHow would they have cut the tire like that mate?

Dont know if anyone goes through this but am scared shi@less wondering about what bolt I didnt tighten MattHaving left many untightened over the years, I'm going thru the paranoia. Just got to sit down and methodically go to each fastener. Don't put the cotter in the axle until it is torqued to 50+ft lbs. The cotter is your visual cue its been done. I safety wire it to the frame so i can pull it without laying it down.
