Deep V's and tires
I just got velocity deep Vs and, I dont know if im just paranoid about flats, but it
looks like my rear tire is squishing against the pavement more than they did on my
MA-3s. Its the same tubes, tires, and pressure.
Anyone notice anything like this?

I pumped the tire, which is on the rim, to 110 PSI. I then rode.
It immediately looked like it had lost air.

Bead seat width (that has another name but I can't remember it) and the profile of the area where the tube sits against the rim make a difference for how the tire is going to look on there from rim to rim. Just go ride, if something is wrong your bike will let you know by pinch flatting.
