Hi All,
Jim's comments prompted my to share some additional thoughts. I found that
my new tyre "stood taller" than the one I replaced. My theory is that the
old tyre was run at low pressures so long that the side walls lost their
strength. I think the design pressure for this tyre is something like 35
psi.
The other comment was that I did loose one inner tube to slippage, and two
tubes to side wall wear so I increased my running pressure to around 22 ~ 24
psi. I used to have a maker on the side, but I forgot to put in on this
time so thanks for the reminder.
I do have a question to the forum. is is possible to seal the split rim and
turn it into a tube less configuration ?
