I don't know what the hell it is or where the hell it came from but it was completly lodged in my rear tire. Now ridding on a plug. Please spare the plug talk, I've ordered the new tire.

Dang dude that thing is huge! I'd cry if I found that in my tire

have you or someone around you put together a small piece of furniture, they are used as a piece that you screw into one side of a fiberboard and then can create a 90* L shaped with another piece of fiberboard and it locks the two pieces together.

I'll provide some plug talk, lol.

I've been riding on a 6 year old plugged tire on my SV for almost 3k miles...not a single problem yet. And it's the front too.

Plug talk over, lol.

Huff1371 · July 07, 2012, 12:22:00 PM

This thing isn't threaded. Maybe some kind of rivet. Who know's. So I wouldn't replace it if I didn't need a tire anyways. The ones on there have such a hard sidewall that I rode probably 25 miles (highway) before I realized something was wrong. And honestly, The plugged one would be fine for the rest of summer but I went ahead a got one while it was on sale

Its a pop rivet thats missing its washer.

Huff1371 · July 07, 2012, 12:42:29 PM

That's what I thought. That's one hell of a rivet

You guys already figured it out. We sell those at work. Giant rivets,....

Huff1371 · July 08, 2012, 02:10:57 PM

So do I get to blame you for your product destroying my tire? I know it was you who sold it here in VA.

iclrag · July 09, 2012, 01:59:12 PM

yup... you should make him pay for your new tire

Huff1371 · July 09, 2012, 06:50:20 PM

I will be seeking compensation. I know that Texas and Virginia are soo close.

I dont think its a pop rivet. Its a lag bolt used in concrete. Its missing a sheave but thats what it is. You dill a hole in concrete and hammer this in. The missing sheave locks to the side walls and now you have an anchor point.

Frame it and tell people it fell off a ufo that buzzed you

Huff1371 · July 10, 2012, 08:41:45 AM

I'd believe you but I'm pretty sure it's impossibru to "dill" a hole in concrete.

SS Adrenaline · July 10, 2012, 10:30:22 AM

Huff1371 · July 10, 2012, 11:06:15 AM
