I think you're really going to enjoy the ride. Now, about the other side of the coin: if they behave like the P-R's, when you flat the easiest thing may be to remove one bead only, pull out the tube and replace it, then reinstall and reinflate. It's usually not hard to spot the puncture, and the way the tire is constructed seems to make it easier than it is with most tires to replace the tube without removing both beads. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
