Blue on edge of tyre wall

[RemaL]

Took the bike out to wales on Friday, had good safe fun but was in the garage today and noticed a Light blue edge around my front tyre wall ???

What have I done?( and no I don't think my kids have been at the bike with crayons)

I'm running Dunlop Qualifier ( not RR) as that came with the bike when I bought it

Oil in the tyre making it's way to the surface...happens whe the tyres get rather hot......so I understand. I'll just sit here and wait till someone says how stupid a suggestion this sounds.

It's just you've been working the tyre hard. Mine get like that when I've had my brave pants on or been on a track day. The edges get all balled up and chopped up too. Though I think the chopped upness is more to do with my riding style. (Shyte......)

Hmmm, the chopping is prob down to your suspension set-up.

Yep. I guessed that, but being a hamfisted irriot I've left it standard as if I start fiddling all I'll do is make it even worse! The brave pants don't come out of the closet often enough to worry me too much!

Hmmm, the chopping is prob down to your suspension set-up.

Or wrong tyre pressure

There's an article in PB mag this month all about it
