Speaking of clinchers' potential for coming off the rim when
experiencing a flat, what about going ONTO the rim, the mounting? I
find the Michelin Carbon to be quite hard to mount, very tight, scary
that I might "snake bite" the tube...really wouldn't want to be out on a
cold rainy day and have a flat on one! On the other hand, Vredestein
clinchers go on VERY easily, almost disturbingly so (they ARE rated at
high psi, but could come off rim easily on sudden flat??). Any
preferences out there for easy/tough mounting?
