Funny tyre wear, flaps on the sides of the tread?

[c_dug]

Hi all,

I was checking out the wear on my rear tyre and noticed some funny flappy bits along the tread, I tried to photo them as best as I could but the camera doesn't pick it up fantastically, I tried to get some closeups but it wouldn't focus brilliantly, the last picture is probably the best.

I'm not worried, just curious what the cause might be?

Think i remember having those at various points on my new tyres when they came, presumed it was excess rubber from the production that wasn't quite taken off properly, maybe at the sides as it hasn't been worn there yet

Nope, the tyre is about 6,000 miles old at a guess, and worn fairly evenly right to the edges.

100% certain the flaps were not there when the tyre was new.

Hmm thats strange, something to do with the edges of the tread wearing away unevenly due to being indented Otherwise fuck knows

Doesn't a raised patch on either the leading or back edge of the tread, mean the rebound damping is set either too fast or too slow. Usually if it's on the leading edge rebound is too slow, and if it's on the back edge it's too fast.

I'll look in to that! Wonder if the hagon on the back allows me to dial that out if it is the case.

I wouldnt worry about it.

It is down to incorrect suspension settings, but your on a 900 Divvy and have a Hagon shock.

Theres nothing you can really do about it.

Usually I would agree with you but this is the first bike I've ever really spent money on and now I've started spending I kind of want to make it as nice as I reasonably can, I'm planning on sorting the front end at some point (a bit soft and needs new seals) I may as well get the back end sorted out too. It actually handles quite nicely for a lardy lump.

I'm not sure "lardy fucker" is a setting

I say it handles nicely but there is definitely room for improvement, perhaps it is rolling a turd in glitter a tad but if I am going to have the bike for a couple of years I want to be able to enjoy it.
