You might need new tires if.......

Thought it might be fun to post up a photo of this tire that came with a bicycle shaped object. This is what happens when you leave your bike in the loft of the barn for, oh, 70 years...

It's like a burnt marshmello..



Anyone else have any bizarre tire photos to share?

Funny how time / heat breaks them down like that. Had a pair before and thought theyd been through a fire or something first time around, good luck chiseling those off

Best I can do is a tire with the tube poking through the sidewall. You got me.

That tire is pretty toasted! Check this one out. Most of the old white rubber was gone leaving a casting not unlike a shredded pile of rope.

Evil goathead thorns. We hates them, precious. California is crawling with them too. That's why the first thing I do with any bicycle I own is to install puncture proof tubes.
