I’m about to go on a short vacation and I was going to replace the Ritchey WCS 700×35 tires I have used so far (tubeless) on a pair of ZTR Grail rims.
The replacements I’ve bought are Challenge Paris-Roubaix 700x27c; my intention was to run them tubeless as well, given the experience with the Ritcheys (non-tubeless tires, ran just fine). The first tire blew off the rim at about 60 psi, both before and after(!) adding Stans (second time it was in the shower booth, thankfully). The rims are rated to 100psi for 28mm (so they should hold a 27 just fine), the tires say 90minimum, so 60 is way too low.
After reading around on the internet and on the manufacturer’s website, I decided to try the second brand new tire with a tube on the same rim, with exactly the same result.
Is there something wrong with these rims when used with ‘normal’ road tires, or are these particular tires not fit for them?
