Tube explosions..thoughts

teenslain [quote]tynan [quote]kowalski I've had nowt but trouble with Contis.

Because they're a bitch to fit, there's a good chance of damaging the tube when you do.

As RPM says, decent rim tape is a must. I've had a puncture cos the cheapo rubber band type failed. Conti tape is top, but I use Veloplugs which are toppermost.

Where did you get your Veloplugs™ from ?[/quote]

I've got some I'm not using, was told by 53x12 they'd be fine on CXP33s, but no... maybe they only fit on Velocity rims... You puttin' them on Deep Vs?
If I were you I'd stick to non-glue rim tape... £2 Vs £14.99... No-brainer really...[/quote]
