Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Bell Flat Defense Road Bicycle Tire by Robert Ryokan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Difficult to fit, didn't stay in place

This tire doesn't have a metal rim on the rim and I think that's why this tire didn't suit me. There is more material in this tire than in the tires I have used. It was very difficult to put it on the wheel, I was afraid that I would bend the rim. It either seemed a little too small to me, or just not elastic enough. Probably to compensate for the lack of a metal rim. But once I put it on and pumped it up it didn't sit evenly on the bike. When I did a test ride I felt it was rough due to 2 bulges on the tire. And the maximum pressure for this tire is only 65psi. I returned it and bought a Kenda K35 tire with a metal rim, inflatable to 90psi. I have mounted tires at least 100 times, the Kenda tire was much better. It was easy to install and worked great.
