I have, and the tire didn't come off. I have a set of Vredestein Fortezza Pista tires, which are spec.'ed with a maximum pressure of 145 psi. When competing in time trials of up to 40 km, I have been known to inflate them to maximum pressure, or maybe a smidgen more. I also compete in roller races where I inflate these tires to 160 psi. They are mounted on a set of Campagnolo Shamal wheels. They have never even given a hit of coming off. Rims have blown apart at lower tyre pressures than this. At what tyre pressure will a rim sustain with what amount of wear? Do rim manufacturers publish such data? Are they too concerned about machined surfaces? FWIW, Mavic specifies maximum recommended pressures for their rims by tire size. Example: http://www.mavic.com/servlet/srt/mav...ct.id=55&lg=uk These numbers seem to arise from tire casing tension which increases with cross section but is unrelated to blow-off pressure which is entirely dependent on rim width. A free body diagram of pressure will reveal that only air pressure, acting at the inside-to-inside width of the rim, acts on the tire to affect lift-off force. I have no doubt that casing failures are directly related to tire size (cross section) but this is not related to lift-off force. Jobst Brandt |

Frank Krygowski wrote in message ... Trevor wrote: Frank Krygowski wrote in message ... I know that typical blowoffs don't rip the tire this way. Still, I wonder if this gives further evidence that the problem is related to the effect of temperature on the materials. I think most of us agree it's not simply high pressure doing the damage. Perhaps there are nicks on the hook of the rim, either escaping quality control or subsequent damage due to mishandling, including the use of hard, possibly steel, tyre levers. Because the tyre flexes with each rotation, a small burr on the rim may cut the tyre casing. Eventually it rips a small amount and when left in the boot the tubes pressure is sufficient to tear the tyre apart. Trevor |

Why not glue wired on tyres? All the disadvantages of both tub's and wired
ons. Not true. No needle to put through tube. Trevor ] DRS wrote in message ... "Trevor" wrote in message DRS wrote in message ... [...] FWIW, when Anna Meares was interviewed the other night at one point she said she was running at 220psi, but obviously she was using tubulars. That pressure amazes me. Anna Meares, Australian, sprint gold medal? Yes. What makes it obvious tubulars were used? Something she said about gluing the tyres to the rims. -- A: Top-posters.

Notice subject heading has transferred to split rims. All your supposed
suggestion to calculating forces are irrelevant. Due to inaccuracies in tolerance of manufacture, ongoing sample testing is really the only way to go. Trevor wrote in message ...
