Jim,
Right now I do not have a camera, I will try to borrow one. When
inflated the tire looks like it has a side ways bulge in it, if that
makes any sense. I can feel it when I ride.

enjoy riding them more than I do broken pavement. I suppose the much
lighter traffic on the back roads is part of the joy, but unless you
have an urge to go as fast as you can, dirt roads are great for

I recently had a problem with my rear tire (JB Green). My LBS said it

The "chip seal" they use here in Texas is horrible, I'd rather have
gravel. Anything less than a 35mm tire and the stuff vibrates your
