First Merry Xmas to all.Went for a ride last Sunday with wife to Vaalkop dam from Bethanie side and lost my mudguard.The top bolt rattled lose and guard caught on old Metzeler and bang drove over it,m*&%toe.Fitted new Heidenau on Monday and yesterday took a ride along the Vaal all on gravel from barage to Parys/Venterskroon to Potch and back.At Centurion I notice a vibration and stop.Check rear and notice a tear in middle next to big knobbie,top and bottom knobbie seems to make a bubble from inside.Decide to go slow,70km/h -2km further stop,tear has become a flap and rear shock cover m*&%toe.Cut off flap and now only 50 km/h to home.Both time's my wife along and big scare.The rear was on 2,3 bar and I had soft luggage on for picnic stuff.My luck?.Hope agent is open Saturday for tyre and ammicable solution.
