so today i went for a cruise with a few mates and to my suprise one of my mates found a screw in my tyre.
it sort of feels like im sliding to the side as i turn, not sure if its just me or its a flat tyre...
what does it feel like when riding with a flat tyre?
should i change my tyre or get it patched up?
any help would be appreciated :)
Either way, you need to get it fixed asap. I'm not a fan for putting a plug in a 'bike' tyre. I'd get a new one.
sliding or slipping from side to side when into corners?
cranked over in the corner or upright?
for me, i found when my old tyres were really low on tread they would feel like they wanted to slide sideways when i was cracked over. I put it down to the tyres heating up much quicker with minimal tread. Its the same feeling Iwas getting with my new Pure 2CT's while I was scrubbing them im.
Yeah thats exactly what a low pressure tyre feels like, it will start to feel like your rear end is giving out.
Go and get one of those cheap pressure valve meters and get a reading over the next few days after you pump it up (cold tyres) and if its consistent, your fine.
