so what is it?
I don't remeber exactly, but if you have rim scraping (which I know did happen both times) that pretty much is the same thing. Rubber is better than scraping steel for bike control.
the real issue with me is not having to ride on the aluminum rails of the rim when my tire blows.
I shredded one rim to the point it had to be replaced.....the second time I just pitted the rim (I was going slow).
I could control it fairly well, but when the rim started scraping it got really hairy (luckily I was slowed down enough at that point)
