| Comments: Felt a bit off and cut ride short. Guy had challeneges with a flat. As a side note, I don't know why wheel/rim manufactures make rims so off that its near impossible to pull off a tire. I can't recall the wheel (Scott with 105) manufacture, but it was nearly impossible to remove a Conti 5000 off the rim and reinstall with a new tube. Ive changed road tires for near 55 years, the worst maybe. |
