RABUBI Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 In the Vets tour we did last week, my tubby burst 10k into the race. It is a Vredenstein Volante tyre, only the did about 110km on it, but it burst like gunshot, nearly crashed. It sure does not look like a puncture, more like it exploded. Did anyone have similar experiences with these tyres?

Like-A-Boss Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Rabubi - I had the exact same thing happen. Had my bike shop put the tubby on for me, and on my first training ride on it (about 50k in) it popped. I always look at the road to avoid glass, etc so I know I didn't ride over anything. I put it down to a tubby to avoid at all cost. Now ride the Evo CX and loving them!

Maximo, I usualy go for about 8bar, but this time I pumped it just over 9, read later on the tubby the limit is 9, but surely it should be able to handle much more than that. Feedback I got sofar is that they are crap, so will go back to gatorskins.
Iven Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Interesting that 9 bar is the limit on those tires. I've been trying to find a link on the Zipp website that dispels the common belief that one should pump tubbies far harder than clinchers. When I find it I'll post it. However 8 bar would be almost correct assuming that you don't weigh more than 80kg.
