was topping off my tires w air last night, cuz I rode to work today. noticed the tire rub from a few weeks ago (6-14-19) (as a result of a broken spoke) caused some excessive sidewall wear, creating a flat spot & exposing some underlying cords/threads! disappointed I didn't notice it before yesterday & that the LBS owner that replaced the spoke & trued the wheel, didn't either, or did, but didn't mention it? anyway, put on a thin layer of Powerflex Ultra Control Gel Super Glue 3g by Loctite (rubber infused formula) & ordered a replacement tire. I can swap that on this weekend. but I really did want to ride today & it was fine

when I noticed it


after a layer of super flex glue


after 22 miles to work this morning
