Schwalbe! That's why I'm surprised, I've never had issues with them.

Rubber on thesidewalls of my tires is wearing out. Do I need to replace them? in c/bicycling@lemmy.world

Sorry, that was a typo! 30psi is what I meant to write.

They are rated 50psi max, but I had tried running them as low as 30psi for a cushy ride for a while. Wasn't sure how low is too low. Maybe more of a problem because my inner rim width is only 19mm for these 50mm tires? Still within spec but on the narrow end for sure.

See photos -- these tires are less than a year old and the sidewalls seem to be breaking where they touch the rim. Just a cosmetic issue or am I risking a blow-out? Thanks!

Jerboa is a great app but has anyone considered changing the icon? (lemmy.one)
 

The app icon looks much less polished than the app itself. How about we change that?
