I think that I believe that I remember that the "wrapper" which my Pasela TG's came with said hooked rim only. However my front rim is not a hooked rim and I've run it all summer at about 110 to 115lbs. YMMV, of course. (Okay, it did blow off when I inflated it over 120lbs. Don't try that at home even if you are a professional.)
