Bonty TLR Rim, Conti Vert UST, lots of Fairy & water, track pump. Hiss, pump, pop, pump, pop, pump pump pump (that'll get it seated, hmm maybe best do this outside) pump pump pump BANG.
I really really hate big bangs like that. Scare me to death.
1 hour on. Still got ringing in my ears, but I mounted it again, put in the Stans and pumped it up gently. It all seems to be sealed.
New Yumeya chain on as well so continuing my hour a day ride tonight.
Although if we start at 7:45 like we usually do, and finish at 9:15 like we usually do then I'm going to be pushed to get a full hour in, as it will take at least 30 mins to put a tube in and mend a chain half way round.
NO NEED TO SHOUT!!!
oh, maybe there is...
Pardon?
I can't really understand how this could happen unless the bead on the tyre is broken.
Wouldn't trust it myself.
I couldn't understand either, especially as the tyre ended up lying on the floor a little way from the wheel. So both beads must have hopped over the rim, which took loads of grunt to get over in the first place.
But as a devout Christian, I am used to things which defy rational logic. 8)
