[mad] well i had my rear you're changed a month or so ago. The guy ripped the bead a little it looked to be useable to me (was a tire changer for 4 years) with the nicer weather I've been pushing the bike harder. Well today i leave for work and something doesn't feel right turning just felt off. I got to the on ramp to the interstate and went for a hard right at about 40mph and the rear seamed really loose. I kept it under control strained out looked at the rear tire and could tell it was flat. The tire is hard enough to hold shape flat thank God. Limped it to work filled it before going home. Took it off when i got home used some soapy water and wasn't finding anything started pushing down by the bead and Walla massive leak. Texted the guy asked if he would help me out he told me to bring it in tomorrow I hope he does the right thing and buys me a new tire if that is the ripped bead. Wish me luck I'll report back tomorrow just sucks that we finally got good weather and i can't ride. My spare bike is in pieces being painted[mad]
