I haven't had a single tire failure. I just get flats. Yeah, I've seen some
of your posts. Trouble all around with these things. I hate to keep pumping
money into something---but maybe I've been to skinflinty from the start.
I've always just used my pro-level Silca floor pump with nice gauge for
these wheels. Maybe my inflation really hasn't been accurate enough. I've
resisted buying a sus-fork pump for $40 after spending $250 on skis. But
maybe now I'll buy the splitrims and get a properly accurate pump. I always
thought my Silca was accurate, but ya never know. A Fox is probably more
accurate to get that magic 85#. --JP

Jeff,
Check out my posts about the 125's over the last month or so. Apparently
Jenex forgot to install the O rings on my SR 125 rims. I can't tell you if

this was the reason for all the tire failures. I actually was able to wear

one 125 tire out before the bead tore away from the sidewall like the
other
tires. Bad news is this tire wears out much sooner than the 150.
