Did the 1st bead go on without problems?

If yes, problems with the 2nd one are due to improper mounting method.

I found them quite easy on Bora, Reynolds Attack and Zipp 202. On 202s I didn't need even need a lever to remove them. Didn't need a lever on any for the install.

Is your Dogma an F8 or a 65.1 that you are having clearance issues with 25c tires?

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

Hi Fogman, it's an F8. Right now I'm running the corsa III open tubulars on Enve 4.5 and I have approximately 3-4 mm of top clearance. I do know that when I ride over loose gravel, sometimes the smaller rocks get wedged between the tire and brake bridge. I wish that they had designed a little more clearance.

After the lovely tan stuff, I recieved a pair of all (full) black test tires.

Allegedly tri-stuff, black-box testing.

Well the Graphenes were stellar today. No slipping around on the sterrata or in the mud. No punctures either.

Interesting. I rode 22km on sterrata with no issues. Maybe there was glass too?

It's a prototype.

Maybe the color is due to the fact that tri-people are generally not coming from a classic cycling background and the retro visuals detract people from buying.
