Personally I couldn’t be arsed for one ride, if you’ve replacements coming. I’d glue a patch inside, boot it with a bit of old tyre and risk it for one ride, potentially running lower pressure than normal. I’m lazy.

Have you freshly oiled that chain as well…or did you dip in in a bucket of oil?

I’d do the same. Although if it lasted one ride, I’d call it good and leave it on.

Yeah same. I’ve been riding around on my commuter with this for last week or so. If it was winter or wet I’d have changed it

Wow you are a braver man than me (admittedly a low bar)
Couldn’t that go BOOM at any moment?
I rode around the F1 track on the heavy tyre, all was fine, although I can’t hold the P2 aero position for much longer than an hour any more it seems. Wheels all switched back for morning commute in just under 8 hours time, night all

Yeah I guess so!
It’s just the internal material of the tyre, can’t actually see any inner tube poking out - but yes, I need to sort it!

What happens when one tyre gets a @bbt67 style shark bite, but the other is still good, and you can’t find the original colour any more? 
That would be a pity. A risk I may be willing to take.
Anywhos, just ordered a pair of the yellow X11’s in 45mm. Probably won’t mount them until Spring as there’s lots of life in the Tufo Thunderos I’m currently running. What a tart.

I’m to tight to order a pair. £££££££££s these days.
Just put a polymer note inside, keeping using the old one. Use a £50 probably cheaper?
I did originally click on the ride it but then saw I was the only one and felt irresponsible so removed that vote.
Worried about the colour match, just spray both to the colour of your choice.

I’m guessing it probably would have been fine, but there would have been this nagging doubt…
No idea how long the hole had been there for, I don’t routinely check, just noticed a black bubble poking out that seemed to be a little side wall inner tube balloon.
Back when we all ran 23mm tyres at 120psi there were many more fun blow outs when a little cut in the tyre would expose a little balloon of tube.
