.........anyone tried this combo? Did it work?
Tried putting a Cinder on a Crest rim last night and it blew off the rim in quite spectacular fashion at about 35psi. Had been using the very same tyre on a Sun Rim with Stans rubber strips with no problem at all prior to this - so assumed it to be fine.
So is it a bad combo, or a dodgy tyre??
Cheers
I thought Panaracer were on the stan's list of tyres of death but they don't seem to be now, so, no idea.
I had that same thought bigjim, but I too checked and found that they are not on the list of death tyres (anymore??) - this is why I'm wondering if anyone else has tried them and had success/failure/deafness??
They always were specifically recommended against. I'd not be going there!
Where's Stan';s list of death?
Here's the [url= http://www.notubes.com/RecommendedTires.aspx ]List of death[/url]. I can confirm that IRC tyres - as per the list - don't work either!!
never had any luck installing customers' Panaracer tires onto Stans ZTR rims of any flavour
advised these customers to use Specialized Control (2 Bliss) tires (i.e. Purgatory, Storm, Captain, Eskar, Fast Trak, etc.) which seat easily with a track pump, don't leak or roll and work with minimum fuss in the long term 😉
I have cinders on two Crest rims with no problem at all, maybe a little extra sealant to keep them up. However I recently put a cinder on a thrid wheel with a crest rim and I don't think I got it seated perfectly and had the same experience, a big bang at about 35-40psi and a mist of sealant. I topped up the sealant, re-seated the tyre on the rim and re-inflated, its been fine since. I'd suggest you just try repositioning the tyre on the rim and go to 30psi, and seal the sidewalls, then go up to 35psi if you want to.
esher shore - sounds good to me, when I read your post I remembered I had been looking for a good excuse to try a set of the Spesh Storms for the winter - now I have the perfect excuse.......
baronspudulike - I think even if I could get the Cinders to work - I don't think I'd be 100% confident given my recent experiences - shame beacause I quite like the Cinder as a tyre, and I have three of them in reasonably good nick.........nevermind.
