  1. A slight update in case anybody googles this problem in the future. Contis just came and I fought the worst battle to even get them on these spank rims. Never experienced such tight fit, and I've dealt with bikes for 20 years now. Suffice to say - I don't expect them to fall of these rims ever, and I dread the day I will have to get them off to patch a tube. Thus - I consider the holy rollers (not spank rims) guilty, case closed.
  2. Hey, so I have been using holy rollers on old v1 Inspired rims (ca. 35 mm width) with no problems. But then I got in hold of a nice set of second hand wheels on Spank Dynamal Evo rims (30 mm width). But they deemed unusable with holy rollers - they pop off the beads like crazy, even doing basic stuff (no sideways landings). It doesn't help that I'm quite light and like to run them around 40 psi. I had to put Schwalbe Crazy bobs on these wheels (with no problems) but they are not that nice in terms of grip and I have a set of perfectly good holy rollers lying around. The question is - did any of you had similar problems? Am I doing something wrong, or is this tyre/rim combo just incompatible? Now that I think about it, it might be a combination of causes - narrow rims, low pressure, flimsy sidewall... I would gladly put something more grippy on the bike, but now I'm reluctant to dump the dough on contis, fearing they would pop off this rim also. Trials world, please help.
  3. Hey Man, I just registered on the forum solely to tell you to keep going. These tutorials are wonderful and probably the best I ever saw. Thank you for your work on these!
