They work very well. Remember that section last year that we all pushed our bikes to get out of town at Triple D?<br />I rode that today to get out of town, and it rode ok. On the way back I had to push, because it had thawed to a slush with a icy base. So I thought, well I got nothing to lose, I'll let almost all the air out of tires. I bet they were both 2psi. But I could then ride and the rims held the bead in.MrDaveyGiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761064063470978028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940604170415596877.post-79555922716915111422010-12-30T16:46:58.270-06:002010-12-30T16:46:58.270-06:00Dave, did you get the Uma rims from Speedway?

Funny how that works. <br /><br />I hardly ever listen to the iPod during the winter, to much to hear as I pedal through the woods!! :)) <br />I love the the snow crunching under the 4" tires!! <br /><br />PeaceJoboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386354936997015516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940604170415596877.post-9079691528135883942010-12-28T22:55:43.230-06:002010-12-28T22:55:43.230-06:00Solitude, reflection and silence...some of my favo...Solitude, reflection and silence...some of my favorite cycling companions.Harry Legge's Cycling Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530039585900330115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940604170415596877.post-80771464489104916762010-12-28T22:42:48.030-06:002010-12-28T22:42:48.030-06:00Someone should make a bead locking ring for tires ...Someone should make a bead locking ring for tires and rims that large (like sprint cars and rock crawlers.) Then you could even run flat. For a while at least. I had a rear hub freeze and explode last winter at about mile 11 out. Panic flashed for a moment, but like you, I thought my way out of it.
