Necessary to replace both tube and tire? CUBE Nuride
Hi everyone, I’d appreciate your assessment of this. My Cube is only 8 months old and I mainly use it for my commute to school, with the occasional light forest path for exercise, though I’m on asphalt most of the time (90%).
I’ve just discovered a air leak right on the sidewall (see 2nd photo). I'm fine with changing the inner tube, but I'd really rather not throw away the tire already if it’s not absolutely necessary. The bike was just in for a different repair last week, which my insurance covered completely. Even though this new damage would probably be covered too, it feels a bit weird to send them another bill immediately. Because of that, I’m wondering if this is something I can still safely fix myself.
Thanks in advance!
