I have had two blow-outs already.....luckily both were on the rear tire and I was going straight at the time. First time I destroyed the rim, but no damge to bike. Second time I only slightly pitted the rim surface because I was going slower.
I am really worried about going fast down hill wthout my Tufo Elites (tubular clincher) because once a regular clincher goes flat there is nothing holding the two edges of the tire togther and it just comes off the rim.
that first sentence -- straight from the 53-11 school of redundancy school, huh?
if you're worried about tires rolling off the rims, you should either, a) stop when you get a flat or b) get tires that fit right...
