The front tire had some nasty cuts, one was over 1/2" long and down to the cords. So I sighed and bought new tires, something else.
My bike is a 2009 Ruby Expert BTW. And yea our roads out here in Los Angeles are as broke as the city and the state, and have hastened the destruction of my road tires. Those Continentals show promise and feel good. They had better hold up, I am out of money.
