my bike was sitting for a few months while i was getting it fixed up and now the tire is lop-sided. should i just ride it out and would i need to worry about the tire blowing while im doing that?

 

what do you mean by lop-sided? uneven wear?

 

ive got a little bit of uneven wear, but since it was leaning to one side for a while a part of the tires a bit warped, nothing big, but i can notice it a little when im cruising. I just got back from a ride though and im starting to feel it get a bit better.

 

hmmm. i'd be worried about getting into a tank slapper with that.

 

*cough* pitbull stands *cough*

 

it just flat spotted from sitting on it for so long.

Ride it very carefully until it heats up and regains its shape. Make sure it is properly inflated

 

As X said, def get yourself some stands (rear one at least) esp for storage, everybody usally leaves it on kickstand for riding season, but for storage it the stands, tire should be ok though, ride safe in the meantime
