Is mounting tires on MA/MA2 rims incredibly difficult? Or am I doing something wrong?
Long ago I used MA2 rims and Specialized Armadillo tires. Tires were long-lived, so changing tires
was infrequent. But TRAUMATIC! It's like I was trying to put 650c tires on a 700c rim! Awful,
awful, awful.
That was forgotten, I have been using different rims and tires for years.
Today a Mavic MA wheel comes into my life, and I attempt to mount a Continental Ultra 2000. THREE
pinch-flats later, I give up. The wheel is for sale. It's the devil in circular form. Shiny MA +
Shimano 105, if you are interested check eBay.
