Title: FRozen rear tire. Post by odvelasc on 02/28/09 at 18:58:33 Hello all!!! My Parking garage roof has a leak in it. I did not notice until this afternoon, but as the melting water from the roof dripped in, it froze to the ground, my tarp, splashed up onto my muffler, crank case cover and onto my the edge of my back tire. Needless to say it all froze over before I could move the bike out of the way. Is the ice gonna damage my back tire? Could melting it with a blow dryer save it, or should I just have the landlord reimburse me for the cost of a new tire? |

Sarcasm duly noted. :P He'll be good to go late March, early-mid April. That's only a couple of more weeks; July is full-blown riding season up here. :D |
