Is there any reason for the inner tube to bulge out of the tyre like this? I pumped my wife's bike to 35 psi as per the specification on the side of the tyre usijg a pump with a pressure guage. The tyre is obviously not mounted correctly on the rim any longer but would this typically be indicative of a defective inner tube, tyre, or rim? I've never had this happen but would like to make sure it doesn't happen again once i replace the tube.

Tyre popped off a few hundred metres into a ride after fitting it. I know there are a few variables, but would the most likely cause be user error? I'm scared of using the tyre again lol . (stock tyre is Maxxis Ikon 29x2.2 wire bead. This tyre is Ikon 2.2 folding).

Thought at first I rode through red paint, but now I'm wondering if it's the manufacturer's way of saying "replace me". The brand is "Midas".

I just upgraded from Thick Slicks to Continental GP5000’s. The tire was fresh out of the box two days ago, I rode yesterday on my commute. Any idea why they have what looks like a thin coat of “fur” on them? Are they SUPPOSED to be like that???

Hi all. The astute among you will notice that there is no bike attached to my new pedal which is attached to my new shoe. The particularly astute among you may also notice that said shoe is the right foot while pedal may or may not be the left. Compounding the issue, I didn’t fasten the cleat securely enough to this shoe to prevent it now sliding around as I try to dislodge the pedal. Am I totally screwed? Will my LBS rightfully scoff at but ultimately save my sorry ass? Thanks!

Edit: 12 seconds after posting I used a little Allen key to pry it off. Thank you to those with suggestions. My shame is great.

I just got my Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29, while assembling I encountered a problem. My left pedal won’t thread…I contacted customer service and they were no help at all.

Upon closer inspection, it looks like the crank isn’t threaded correctly because the pedal threads fine backwards…Am I just dumb? Am I missing something?

Thoughts? Any help is appreciated 🙏

This is my friend's bike. He was riding behind me so I did not see the crash, but according to him the Fork Arch randomly snapped while riding a turn and threw him OTB.

He will contact Fox to see what they will say, but we cannot wrap our heads around the fact that it snapped on both sides. I have scanned forums and have not found any similar situtations, could this be a material defect ?

And regarding repairs, do you think that only the lowers can be changed, if after inspection everything else lools good ? Does Fox sell these as spare parts ?

The spokes got ripped out in a crash

Its a tire-tube. How long has this been a thing? Am i stupid for not knowing this is a thing? Honestly i really dont see the point
