I bought a pair of 28c Panaracer Pasela TG's (700c) for a bike tour next
week. I installed them tonight, and inflated them to the PSI stamped on
the tire, which was 105psi.
With the first one, I had trouble keeping it from popping off the rim while
inflating it. Then, I finally got them both installed, and I rode down the
road for a quick test, and BOOM! The tire blew off the rim, and all my
neighbors peeked out, thinking it was a gunshot! (it's always fun to keep
my neighbors wondering what I'm up to!)
Maybe my pump gauge isn't accurate? But, it works fine pumping my sport
bike with 23c Michelins, up to 110psi with no problems. So, I think that
rules the pump out.
I'm running crappy Velocity 36-spoke tires from Performance. I don't know
if that has anything to do with it or not.
Looks like the tube was the only loss. The tire looks like it's OK. So,
what pressure should I run these tires at? REI's website says 90psi.
Thanks in advance for any feedback! I need resolution and a few test rides
before this weekend!
