I ran Babyshoe Pass tires on Pacenti Brevet wheels for couple of months - on my road bike that has Reynolds 631 tubing. The ride was dreamy. I kept thinking there is no going back to inner tubes. Then one day the rear tire suddently deflated 100% in a second while I was riding on a city street. I nearly crashed. Thankfully I was going under 15mph. The very thought of this type of incident occurring while riding downhill or down a ramp at 30mph scared me. The sidewall had a cut. I removed tire, wiped wheels and tires off the orange goo, put a piece of gorilla tape from inside at the spot of the cut and went back to inner tubes. I miss that awesome cushy ride, but the classic setup just makes me feel safer.
As for the seating the tires, I could get Babyshoe Passes to pop with an old cheap walmart pump I have, as the air volume needed is not much. When I (for a brief period) converted my MIT Atlantis setup to tubeless (2.3″ Rat Trap Pass tires/Cliffhangers), I went for one of these https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BJ4MXQY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
