I know it sounds stupid but bear with me...
I bought a pair of Schwalbe Rocket Rons a couple of weeks ago for my CX bike but they seem to be too 'big' for the rim in that when you start to inflate the tyre it doesn't clinch the rim and the inner tube tries to escape. I've since tried them on another set of wheels and with a little persuasion, I can inflate the tyre and it holds. Problem is, at the back of my mind, the tyre will give way when I'm on a descent and I'll end up in a heap somewhere.
So can this happen or am I worrying over something that probably won't ever happen?
TIA
Tony.
