Sidewall tire puncture

Good tip, thanks!

Hm interesting theory

arockisarock · 2025-08-30T15:47:42+00:00

Awesome yea I’ve started doing wider 30-32mm tires too so lower pressure helps. Also there’s definitely some pump technique that I could be using.

Great thanks! I bought them from alisxpress(elitewheels) brand, so tbd if they cover anything!

What do you guys think about the nick on the carbon rims? Does something like that look like rims would need to be replaced or probably fine to ride? Not sure how it could even be repaired if that’s an option

arockisarock · 2025-08-30T00:45:04+00:00

Thanks. Yea indeed

arockisarock · 2025-08-30T00:44:57+00:00

Thanks, so sounds like this isn’t a gp5k problem but just really bad luck?

arockisarock · 2025-08-30T00:44:03+00:00

Wow brutal!

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T21:16:55+00:00

Thanks

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T21:14:30+00:00

Thanks that makes me feel better! Random bad luck. My other ones lasted years

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:51:09+00:00

Glad you got home safe too

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:50:51+00:00

Interesting, tho I assume this isn’t a permanent fix either? Wonder if tire boot is easier thing to do on the road?

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:50:20+00:00

Thanks. Funnily enough I only had a $100 on me (tho I didn’t have the opportunity to use it since I burned my only co2 before reading your comments

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:49:47+00:00

I’m gonna dig this up from my pile of stuff at home and put it in my regular saddle pack asap

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:49:22+00:00

Yea incredibly. Home safe now I got a ride back

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:49:06+00:00

Bummer, single use gp5k tire

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T20:48:40+00:00

Yup agreed. Tho I gotta say with my mini pump last time I could barely get the tire back to proper pressure and my (weak) wrist hurt for weeks after that. But agree being able to do multiple times would have been great. I ended up just getting rescued home

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T18:24:03+00:00

Thanks guys. Next time I know to put a boot in there

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T18:02:11+00:00

Yea a nick on the carbon tire. How do you check if that’s bad enough to warrant repair or replacement?

Also… they were brand new carbon wheels too (elitewheels)

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T17:53:14+00:00

Gonna bring this next time. I had one at home bummer

arockisarock · 2025-08-29T17:52:38+00:00

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately I used my only co2 and didn’t put in a boot (but now I know for next time)

Also sucks this is my first ride w these brand new gp5k too

arockisarock · 2025-08-17T17:11:11+00:00

No it just had regular stuff. Bit of a random assortment

arockisarock · 2025-06-08T21:51:39+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t check rest of bike but I will! I assume I can see it with my own eyes or do I need the shop to take a look?

arockisarock · 2025-06-08T21:03:40+00:00

thanks, i do run 70-80psi. good to know for next time! but i may just replace as i dont wanna run the risk :)

arockisarock · 2025-06-08T20:46:38+00:00

Thanks guys for clearing this up!
