Hi I did purchase tires online. You know how they fold
tires to fit it in shipping box. Does this bending damage
tires? Due to bends rim reinforcing is kind a broken where
bend. Any comments? thanks

If they are folding tyres, they won't come to any harm. I
buy tyres online from Wiggle, and if they aren't folding
tyres then they ship them in a big box like wheels come in.
No problem.

Haven't tried buying tires though - I yawn enough already.

Yeah, could you translate that into English for me?

I've bought Kevlar-bead WTB tires from both the LBS and on-
line. Since they come from WTB in a little 4"x4"x4" box, and
get shipped from wherever they are made, I doubt an extra
trip via UPS will do them any more damage.

In other words, my Kevlar-beaded tires turned out just fine.
Wire bead? I dunno if they can get damaged or not.

If that answered your question, great. If it didn't, my
apologies.

Most wire bead tires can be folded into a figure 8 and the
larger ones (26"😉 can be folded over. If I order 1-2 tires
from a vendor, that's usually how they come. More than that,
they're shipped flat in an appropriate box.

Like the others said, if you order kevlar beaded tires, then
there are no worries, they are indeed "folding" tires.

Writing to newsgroups I'm just trying to get some
information and improve my english skills as well. Not for
all english is a 1st language🙂 So what sentense youd didn't
understand? Perhabs all of it?
