H + Sons tube bursting!

YouTube - Edith Piaf - Non, Je ne regrette rien

speaking from experience fred?

it would have been if he had said "it'll be fine until you're late for a date with the forum noob you have just been grooming, and it's raining."

noob lube!

i only know from bitter experience standing in the rain, waiting for Fred

who needs noob lube, go for raw and dry

i have gone through 4 inner tubes now on my new H+sons rims and still have no tire on the bloody thing.
after the first blow out i took extra special care in making sure there was no pinches. but again, BANG. it looks like they are going on the spoke holes. so im gonna try some rim tape. how ever i never had to do this on my velocity deep Vs.

Has anyone else had these problems?

im fitting Vittoria zaffino tires and using specialized 700c 20/28 long valve inner tubes.

rim tape and then hope!

Should have been a blog post imo

aw, two page and no mentioned of the Randonneur? I'm disappointed in you lots!

it'll be fine until you're late for a date with the cutest girl you ever met, and it's raining.

That will never happen. They come to me...

i'm glad we've got you on board, federal.

:)

Aww ;D

Veloplugs to save 15g? I could not be arsed with that. Mind you I couldn't be arsed with H+ sons either. They still exploding?

No.

That's per 32h wheel, rotational weight. More if you have less spoke holes.

People pay a lot more for piddling weight reduction on their bikes (or pointless NJS, NOS, Colnago B-stays, etc bits). At least this makes a measurable difference.

Saying that.. I'm not the kind of person that needs to worry about 15g. 15kg maybe..

15 kg

What's that, fatty?

called up evans in chalk farm to check they had the velox tape - "oh yeah, we've got loads in both widths"

go in to pick it up, "sorry no velox, but we do have continental"

can i trust it?

Hahaha.. I honestly have no idea about their rim tape.

People worried enough about weight to fit velo-plugs to H-plus rims(@580grams each).
Now that would be a funny story.
