Ordered the legendary Billy Bonkers. Sloppiest tire venting I’ve ever seen 😐
I realize vent spews are not a gauge of quality but yikes, this is something you’d see on a $10 Chinese clunker. The picture does not do it justice lol.
I’ve ordered 2 pairs in the last year or so. First pair didn’t really have this going on, but more recent ones looked exactly like yours. Might’ve just been a slightly sloppier batch/mould. The newer ones are riding great, though, so I’ll run that spew down in no time anyway.

They don’t make them like they used to… The ones you want to order are the tubeless folding tire variant. Don’t get the ones that are cheap and come in wire bead casing. Believe me!

Billy Bonkers were never great. But they sure are nice and cheap.

Why are billy bonkers a thing? Just get Continental or Panas and forget about tires.
