[Closed] Seems i need rim protection, best value for money?

single07 · 2019-06-07T07:47:47Z

my back rim's all dinged and most of my punctures have been rim strikes. of course i could increase tyre pressure, but 98% of the time it's spot on for my taste and my weight. so i'm thinking a rim protector could be a good thing. plus it would extend the life of my tyre, which is ready to give up, despite having an acceptable amount of tread left. so what do you suggest? do want it to cost an arm

I don’t understand how anyone can be running under 25psi in a tyre. Do they not squirm / burp / roll off the rim frequently?

Depends tons on the size of the tyre (or rather the volume of air, as this stuff is nonlinear and weird) and the sidewall. With 2.4 29ers, I run both ends at about 17, no burps, never rolled one off the rim... I am pretty light which helps. I just really don't like how they feel when they're harder.
