Damn, looks like a new tire too.
I'm a cheapass though, if the damage isn't causing a bulge, I'd rotate it to the back wheel and keep riding it as long as possible.
Looks like a continental gp4000?

You got the tire right. I went ahead and replaced it. It was already starting to bulge. The tire only had about 300 miles on it. But that damage might have been from something I hit. I'm not sure. I sent an email to Canyon just in case they wanted to be cool and replace it, but I know tires aren't covered by warranty and I haven't heard back from them.
The downside to high performances tires, usually the sidewalls are fragile.
Conti makes a gatorskin tire, but many people say its like riding on a garden hose.
I use Schwalbe ones, but they are just as fragile as your recently deceased tire.
At least you got 300 miles out of it, I had a brand new tire get sliced from bead to bead on its very first ride, by a folded up box cutter blade.
I was non-plussed.
Are you on Strava? Here's mine: https://www.strava.com/athletes/25388463
No, it won't work behind the GFW of China, without a VPN.
More trouble than its worth, for me.
Well that stinks. :(
No worries, I'm immune to almost every social network disease. :)
And for the next person who asks me if I have a wechat account......the answer is, and will continue to be NO.
