I went to a tire shop today to change the blown out rear tire. I put on a new pirelli diablo rosso 2 tire. Tire guy said that the cush rubbers need to change soon, i took a closer look and saw that the joints in between, were ruptered. (Bike has 35k kilometres)
Just right after the installation, i smelled some rubber plastic smell on the road then stopped in a gas station to check but couldn't find where it came from. Then i checked the tire pressure and it was 42psi don't know why.
I set it to 36psi and rode to home. No smell after that.
One year ago, an other tire guy has forgotten to put the pipe type inner spacer and the collar while he was reparing the rear tire. I had to change rear wheel bearings after a 300km trip without those parts.
May be that was the cause the cush rubbers seem not ok.
What do you think.
Sorry that i didn't take any photos.
