This morning I picked up a massive, disgusting gob of chewing gum towards on my front tyre. It’s making turning right a bit of a weird, squirmy affair and I want to get it off.
What’s the best way to remove it? It’s so huge that simply riding round a roundabout won’t help to wear it off (it’d just smear it around) and I don’t want to risk using any weird solvents or anything.
:ermm:
warm butterknife? :ermm:
Ewww!Did I hear before now that freezing chewing gum was one way to get it off? Perhaps some cold / ice water on there to make it go “solid” and it might peel off easier? (perhaps with a bit of careful prodding from a screwdriver?)
Hmm … just Google’d … try these too. Mayonaise !!!

Personally id just get my teeth in there and nibble away till its gone.
i wonder if chicken strips taste like chicken?? 
New front tyre, can’t see any other way round it really!! 
:hehe:
How big-a blob of chewing gum did you pick up to destabilise your bike?! Photo!
:unsure:
OMG. :sick::laugh:
you sure its not a small child stuck to it
get some heat, some nice corners and wear it away, the fun way of doing it i s’pose 
pull of what you can by hand or with a screw driver then scuff the area with a light bit of emery cloth to get the rest of maybe? …
solvents wise you can use brake cleaner on tyres…
ice cube and then something to pick it off with
update from the missus: nail varnish remover and a hard cloth
Ta for the suggestions!
I scraped it off with a stick in the end. 
Best way to remove gum for carpets and things is ice cubes.
so no reason it wont work on your tyres.
Rub ice cubes on the tyre, to make it really cold then it should scratch off with ease.
Failing that, coat your tyre in engine oil, i heard that works well.
(DONT ACTUALLY TAKE THIS SUGGESTION SERIOUSLY PLEASE, ITS A STUPID IDEA AND I SHOULD BE HANGED FOR SAYING IT)
lol :D:D
Simple is best! Assumed you’d already tried sticky brute force! 
Hmmm so its gone full circle it was a Stick of Gum now its a Gummy Stick
peanut + jar and monkeys fist is all I can say to that solution.
Next will be inventing fire with a lighter.
