Eventually though, the Stan's dries up and you could end up with a big Stan's "booger" in there you'd want to remove. I've since learned this rim is notorious for making bead break almost impossible. Generally though, the Racing Ralph's I normally ride with are very easy to pop beadHill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901432169252097296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-26204495605102139242015-11-25T16:15:46.059-05:002015-11-25T16:15:46.059-05:00Bizarre.

I've found the edges to be easily bent, so much that I couldn't get the tire reseated, although it was able to bend it back after I got home.<br />I've been running 29x3 Knards at a minimum of about 10 psi, and I'm slightly lighter. It's a fine balance between getting it soft enough to get the most out of those tires and getting too Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
