• Which gen Iron Cross? I've never installed one of those that didn't leave me hating being alive. G-one speed on those were a horror show.

    I was a pretty early adopter of IC, so probably gen 1. I have some Grails which I could try, but I don't really want to dismount the Schwalbe Ones that are on them.

    I've put a fair few tyres on ICs and never had a problem, but they have been a mix of regular CX tyres converted to tubeless and schwalbe tubeless specific stuff, not vittoria.

  • I've not had a chance to install any Vittoria CX, but the Corsa Speed was a fucking pain to go on a set of Hunts as well, and this was with Hunts 'official' tape rather than Stans, which is is basically decoration tape. Just couldn't mount them for anger or rage!

    So I mounted them on another set of wheels with tubes and over inflated till they threatened to blow off. After that, they wen't on easier, but no cake walk.

  • I've never had tyre fitting issues, but Corsa Speeds have seen me kill tubes, levers and nearly myself on my Jet+. I think Vittoria have gone for the tighter end of bead diameters.
