Except for the 60 MM Big Apples on the 45 mm wide SnoCat SL rims on my Monocog 29er: these tires fit normally -- ie, you could hand-install but you had to force the bead over the rims' edges -- on the Alex OEM rims, but on the SnoCats the beads literally fall off the rims, and mounting is a challenge because of their extremely loose fit --or lack thereof. If I ever were to plan on more than 30 psi in the rear (too hard, really, even for smooth pavement; I run them at 12/15 for dirt) I'd be very worried! (But, once you pump/reseat/ pump/reseat/pump/reseat, the beads stay put just right.) -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW at resumespecialt...@gmail.com (505) 227-0523 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
