bontrager tyres and fulcum 5 rims grrrrrrr!

I just punctured 4 times with Bonty race lites on Fulcrum 5 rims. I'm aware tyres are worn but 4 times in 35 miles, that's redunkulous.

In reply to accountantpete's post:

Yes those are the levers
They broke at the point you place under the bead when trying to lever the tyre bead over the rim
I'm prety sure I had all the tube inside the rim but it may have moved as I progressed around the tyre
I'm not blaming the rims, just geting frustrated! And progresively poorer! ;)

There's a lifetime guarantee on them per the packaging if you want to take it further.

All I can say is that they have coped perfectly well with my Eurus/Veloflex combo's - which are really tight.

What rim tape are you using?
 
I've just struggled to get some Gator Skins on my fulcrum 5s. I found repeatedly working them with my thumbs must have warmed and stretched them enough to get 'em on. Persistence is not always futile.
