Review on Donnelly 700Cx33C Folding 60TPI Black by Christopher Buck

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Those were great tires. Maybe I just got a bad batch.

Let me first say that this is my third PDX kit. They are great in wet, muddy conditions. I had expectations of ease of installation and simplicity. Well, Donnelly, you've failed me on both counts. I struggled for a good 45 minutes to install one of these. As a last resort I used the tire levers on the last small section. After pinching the chamber, I decided that this tire was defective. The second tire was much easier to mount. I inflated the tire to 60 and made sure the rib caught on the rim. I then deflated and did a standard tire push off the rim to make sure the tube wasn't exposed. After that, I rolled the bike in the air and spun on the thru-axle. No Bone! This tire exhibited wobble (deformation) which could result in a bumpy ride. All this to me returning the tires for a full refund. Feel free to contact me if/if you have a better batch.
