so we got my rims built up today and they look sick. we noticed the runaways have a lower profile than any other rims availbale and that the bead "grabber" is very small. I inflated my front fs100 to 6-8 si and it blew off trashing the bead, tire had less than 3 rides on it. next we did the khe prototype to 120 psi. tube bles and no drive side came off the rim. both beads were seated correctly in the rim. both happened while sitting on the grond, not mounted on the bike. i currently have had them infalted for around 5 hours (khe rear w/ 100, and schwalbee tt in the front with 65 psi) and no problems yet. just a heads up. we called alienation to let them know about the problem and they are waiting for the boss to return from taiiwan so well have to wait it out. Im pissed though, out two tubes and a brand new tigoa fs100- that you cannot get in the US. definately going to try and get a new tire out of tioga or alienation, cannot believe it. the bead is completely trashed.
on a positive note my profile fron/competition/alloy nip/runaway and rear 4stroke/competition/alloy nip/runaway weights almost 2 lbs less than my hayes/straight gauge/brass/mtx and 4stroke/straight gauge/brass/atomlab trailpimp
