"Wire-bead Paselas are famous for blowing off the rim. Avoid them."
We have sold and installed hundreds of wire-bead Paselas in the past 3
years. This reputation for blowing off rims has not been validated by
our customers or in my personal riding experience with them. I find
them generally true

Thanks for the advice and offers, I've had a set located for me. Have tried
the soda pop can (beer should come out of a bottle or a keg) previously and
didn't care for the result.
No fault of the materials, it was more the workmanship involved!

For what it's worth, I have Pasela 32mm and 35mm TGs on my stout Bontrager
Fairlaine rims. The tires are two or three years old. The rims, I believe,
are 22mm inside measurement.
The 32s come out to about 31mm (50psi) and the 35s come out to about 36mm
(75psi). When you look at them, the si

Very cool lighting system, I must say.
It is possible to ride 32s with fenders on a Romulus. I did it. But I had to
remove the fenders because there was so little clearance. The problem with
such tight clearance is that whenever you ride on wettish canal path or dirt
road, the very fenders

You can also use a high strength chrome moly axle for less money than
a Ti one. I did this on a campy hub bike I own and so far no problemo.

The last sets of 32 and 35 I tried ran true to size. Or maybe a touch
over. They were from recent batches.

According to the table on Sheldon's site

both sprocket thickness and spacer thickness changed between Shimano
Hyperglide 7 a
Sheldon has a chart showing the various cassette cog & spacer thicknesses:
http://sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#transplant
Notice how the variations appear quite small but when you stack up enough of
them, it can make a difference. There's also a good discussion of freehub
body transplants, etc.
The cog spacing got tighter when they went from 6 to 7 not from 7 to 8
speed. That is why you need a spacer with the 7 speed cassette on the
8 speed hub. When they went from 8 to 9 they made the cog spacing
even tighter. That is why 8 and 9 speed use the same hub body.
So if you want a stronge

You most likely will need to have the frame respaced.

See photo. Very nice, stretchy wool Ibex vest, worn 2 seasons, washed
twice. I've been wearing it off the bike, since I have a better Ibex
vest for cycling, and, while this one is excellent in fit for cycling
-- snug -- it is rather too small for street wear, at least for my
aesthetic.

I just repacked four Shimano freehubs last week. There is no need to
pull the freehub. Its a little bit of a reach but quite doable.

Personally I would discount the validity of that data, for current

on these rims for a short time, they came in about 2mm larger. I also
