- May 31, 2012, 14:32:38 PMthe split in the tire is from it rubbing on the inner finder mounts, the bead of the tire was no longer holding to the rim at that spot causing the tire to bulge out and rub.
this is only on the right side.

- May 31, 2012, 11:21:57 AMDoes any one know where I can get a rear wheel assembly?
My wife and I just got back from North Carolina and had a great time until...
We were about 80 miles south of Robinsville NC and I started feeling a lump in one of my tires so we pulled over and I find this...
I was riding Solo with only about 25# max of stuff in the bags and don't remember hitting anything other than the normal occasional pothole and bump.
So as you can see I'm in need of a rear wheel. 
Also a big THANK YOU to Flat Broke Customs of Ellijay, GA these guys not only stayed on the phone for a couple of hours trying to find me a wheel with no luck, they carried us to the U-haul place, where we rented a box truck to get home, then they loaded the bikes and strapped them down for us. I cant say thank you enough!!!
