eastanglianbiker Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 is it a tubed tyre and they got a puncture as riding on that would casue it to come off the rim.when you say come off the rim has it come over the outer edge of the rim or gone into the centre of the rim?

Chimera101 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'll have to be vague just now as I'm working on thedescription I was given. It's a tubeless tyre and from what I understood from the description one side has came off the outside rim. I'll see if I can get any further info.Sorry it's so vague.

Tango Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 You could possibly get the tyre back onto the rim with a bit of pursuation.....bit you'd need a high pressure air line to get it to seal back onto the rim.....probably best to take it to a tyre place and see if they'll do it for a coupla quid for you...

It certainly won't have just slipped off of its own accord for no reason. If it has been run flat then it could conceivably come off, but I wouldn't even attempt to refit it. Buy a new one.
