Hi,
I got the setup of HED Stinger 90 (rear) and Vittoria Corsa EVO CX.
I have chosen this tire after lot of searches, and found that it is very popular here in ST as well.
I realized, that tire width is in issue in case of HED Stinger 90, but it is stated on their website that 21-23 mm is OK - so this tire with its 21mm width should work as well.
But:
After I have mounted it, I realized, that the arc of the tire is smaller than the arc of the rim. Because of it, while the tire is adhere well in its center, does not adhere in its sides, moreover there is a very small gap between them there.
Maybe it is not an issue from the adherence, as it seems to be strong (at least I hope it remains during high speed cornering as well…), but there is an other issue: during cycling, I continuously hear a rustling sound. As I realized, it caused when the rim and tire - under my weight - touches and looses each other in every wheel circle, where those above mentioned gaps are on the sides.
I hope it was comprehensible…
So my questions are - especially for those who has this wheel/tire combo:
- Did you face this issue as well? If yes, how did you solved?
- Maybe I should use bigger volume of glue/adhesive?
- What kind of glue/adhesive do you use?
In general: - Has this issue any affect on my wheels performance? I mean, whether it is a new resistance factor (which eliminates those precious seconds what I won by using this good RR factor tire
)?
Your opinion/experiences are appreciated, thanks in advance,
Géza
