...according to the newest Bicycle Quarterly, and Boulder Bicycles. They both say that the rim design makes tire beads seat easier than Synergies and other 650b rims that aren't designed well because they have too-deep-rim-wells.
This is exciting news. Anyone tried these yet? They are tubeless friendly, too, apparently. Horizontal shelves for to seal better in tubeless use. A slippery, thin rim tape like Stan's is recommended to get tires to auto-set on the rims as they are inflated. As a 650b rider, I really like that all these developments in new tires and rims are happening. Glad that people in the business are researching and making better stuff as the years go by. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
