I was riding along on my Bianchi Pista andI heard a thumping noise in my rear tire.
I got off and saw a bulge on the side of the tire, near the rim and so big that it was hitting my frame.
It was freezing rain, 37 degrees, and I had 5 miles to home so yes I got on (no spare) and kept on riding. The bulge was so big the tire was jamming in the rear frame.
I got off and a few seconds later the tube blew. This is what it looks like. now
I used this tire for at almost 1000 miles with no issues. . I had Mr. Tuffy Tire liners inside .the tire. Tire pressure was okay, not high or low.
What did I do wrong? The Tire was a Schwalbe Durano, which is supposed to be a really tough tire. I only had it for three months.
