Hi,


I was changing a tyre today and accidentally damaged the bead due to too much pressure and not enough paste, frustratingly..


Would the tyre be safe to ride? I've filled it with 42psi air and it doesn't leak any air as I tested it with soapy water.


here is the damaged pre mounting:

Ah, I had a look to see the internal structure of tyres and it indeed isn't! Thanks for that :)
