Dude! First thing I did was double check the sidewall to make sure I had a 29!

It totally reminded me of wrestling super-burly Maxxis Hookworms onto some of SteveDave's hardcore urban rims - darn near ended up with bloody fingertips after that one. Those tires are the reason I bought metal Park tire levers, but I couldn't bring myself to use them on these wheels (though it crossed my mind...)

Alright... so they fit tight. Sounds like that's "normal", and I understand why they would need to be tighter than with a tube. Just don't like it. Can't say I'm not looking forward to taking out the tubes to convert to tubeless...

Rg.

ps. I was thinkin about punching tubeless in the FACE that night!
