If your rubber is leaving a line its got a nick in it. Even if you can't see the nick its there, change it.

lol

nice one! how long have you been surfing to find that!


Try washing the rubber before you replace it, it might just have a hair or a bit of paint on it.

Flip it around to use the other side first too.

I only dog ear my 14".  It doesn't do anything for leaving lines in the middle of the rubber though.
