Thanks, I might try one when I get a few more bucks to spend. For right now, I cleaned the roller with some paint thinner (kept it away from the tire),and the mold "flash" seems to have mostly worn off of the center seam of the tire. This combined with the reduced reduced pressure seems to have helped. I've done 21 miles @ 20-23 mph on it with out anymore problems. There's a slight pinstripe from the remaining "flash" but the rest is clean.
