On my ride home last week, I noticed that my rear wheel seemed to have a bump/wiggle in it. Upon further inspection, there seems to be a bump in part of the tyre, which I think is the inner tube pushing the tyre out. Where this has happened, the tyre is showing signs of threading wear (that is the fabric of the tyre falling apart).
I'm guessing this isn't good?!
Question... what's caused it? It's a Giant Defy 3, with standard fit tyres etc, which I bought about 4/5 months ago second hand. Since getting it I've done well over 500 miles, so knew that I'd had to update a few things - but this issue is worrying me. Is it the wheel, tyre, inner tube, or something completely different?!
I'm guessing a new tyre is a must, but what else do I need to replace?!
Any advise gratefully received....!
Thanks
James
