damn it Thats not good, I really wanted to be able to ride in the rain. I know this is mostly my fault for ordering a tire that was too tall, but I would have thought the guy that put it on would have told me I need to buy a new chain, or he could have moved it back even a few mm would have stopped it from rubbing. its cutting in only 2 mm maybe a little more, but its not a huge dent... I am never going back to that guy... he really ****ed me over...
