I used Tufo Extreme Rim Tape to moun t the tires on a new set of wheels. The tires are new Panaracer Practice Dual (yellow and black tread) pumped to 100
psi on NOS Mavic GL330 rims.
I cleaned the rims with alcohol and acetone to make sure there wasn't any kind of residue on them. The Tufo tape was easy to apply and tires mounted e ven easier.
For the first 3-4 rides, no problems. Yesterday about an hour into the ride I started hearing a "ticking" sound from the rear wheel. I stopped and checked
everything. Then the front tire started making the noise too.
Pretty soon tires started making a tearing sound and then a squeaking sound.
It only happens over 15 mph. The temperature was 50°-60°. I checked the tires, brakes, rims, spokes and hubs. Everything looked good.
Anyone ever have this happen?
I'm wondering if the Tufo Tape is starting to fail?
