Strange tire wear at rim (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by hangyor@sh.itjust.works to c/bicycles@lemmy.ca
 

Was going to go for a simple ride tonight. Noticed this strange wear on my tire right next to the rim. Is this bad/a big deal?

Update: thank you all for your quick replies! I will be not be riding it and change it out. My rim is definitely very slightly bent, I can feel it when I ride. Definitely need a new bike since I know I'm too heavy for this bike.

I'd change it for safety. Tyre is cheap, life is not :/
