  • Tyres blowing of the rim? I’ve only heard of that tubeless.

    I’m running 23 & 25mm Masters (with tubes) on very wide rims. Will I die?

  • You will, but if your tyres have never displayed a tendency to unseat and let the tube burst out off the side they are highly unlikely to have anything to do with it. For me, twice in a 50km ride (and twice before in the last month or so) seems high enough a hit rate to start questioning it.

    Weird thing is, rear tyre has been fine, so wondering if I have a dud at the front? I'd really love for them to seat and work as they're great tyres and used and loved by many - really comfortable and do feel nice and fast - but I'm sure I couldn't help but feel a little anxious using those with my wheels!

  • What rims are these on? I have 28 and 25mm Corsas on 17 and 15 internal rims and had no issues so far.

  • When you’re installing these do you use talcum powder inside the tyre? I find it makes life substantially easier and touch wood I’ve never have a blowout. I use Master 23’s on Open Pro and Neutron Ultra rims, and because I’m built for descending they’re usually around 110-120psi.
