I have been running Col De La Vies on my Saluki since I received it in late March 2008, they were getting pretty worn so I decided to try the Schwalbe Marathon 650b as I had used the same tire in 20 inch size on the Bike Friday I used to have and were very happy with them. The problem I have run into is this... I installed the new tires on Wed. but since then on 2 different rides I have had them blow out. The last time today it blew the tire off of the rim and put a long split in the tube. I haven't run them at full 85psi , but had them at around 80psi. I'm thinking that something about my rim (Velocity Synergy 32h) and tire combination isn't likeing that much pressure. Today after it blew and I installed my spare I only aired it up to about 60psi and it seemed fine to get me home.
The tires seem to fit very loose on the rim, I can completely change tire and tube with no tools. I didn't have anything like this happen at all with the CDLV's. I weigh 178 and tend to carry alot on my bike...it has a Tubus Cargo rack and Ortlieb panniers that I leave on it pretty much all the time. Has any one on this list had any issues with them? I am going to call RBWHQ on Monday to see what they think about it.
