recently had my road wheels rebuilt with Pacenti SL23 rims, and am struggling with getting tyres on and off.
I had been using my old Gatorskins, with the plastic rim strips which came with the wheels, however they were a total nightmare to get on, and even worse to get off..
I’ve done a bit of research and realise the crap plastic rim strips are not helping, so have roll of Stans Yellow tape on order.
What tyres are others using with Pacenti SL23 rims?
I understand the Gatorskins are a known tight fit – I don’t want to use a tyre which I cannot get off at the side of the road.
This is a summer bike (Giant Defy) however I’m 100KG, and ride on crappy roads, so need something reasonably robust.
Don’t know much about tubeless – however I understand that the Pacenti rims + Stans rim tape puts me in a good position to try this..
I’m well aware of tyre changing technique – but the Gatorskins were shocking!
