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.

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.

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

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.

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