Update.....

These Schwalbe Ultremos suck ass. I have had three tubes burst since I installed them yesterday because the bead will not stay seated properly to the lip on the rim. I had read that this has been an issue in the past with these tires when run on wider rims but I had hoped that Schwalbe had addressed the issue and had it fixed by now.

And before everyone asks, yes I checked to make sure the bead was seated properly and that there were not any kinks or wrinkles in the tube. This is my first set of Schwalbe tires and so far I am less than impressed. I fired off an email to Schwalbe so we'll see what they say.
