With all the usual finesse i possess, i landed a jump 'badly' but managed to hold it and survive in one piece but noticed i completely deformed my front tyre...... The landing was as if the tyre (running tubeless) slipped off the rim, i didn't loose much pressure though but noticed that my tyre rather than being straight on the rim was almost 's' shaped.....just took a look at it to see if i could re-mount and it seems to have stretched the sidewall so its a write-off? The tyre in question is a conti x-king.....very wierd, has anyone else experienced this??

Mis-shaping like that is common with certain tyres
