These tires, especially the ones mounted with silk base tape, pull on so nicely after being stretched for at least 48hrs. For those who might even be remotely interested, with carbon rims I do a 3 coat/3 day glue job. With carbon I've found that the first layer is essentially sucked up by the carbon due to it more porous nature as opposed to it's aluminum counterpart.
The Alchemy hubs we used(and we'll use on all of our demos at the shop), are all made just up the road in Broomfield and are amazing. Inside the rear hub youll find 5 bearings dedicated to making your wheel experience as best as it can be!
The machining is top notch. Every part of the hub has been thought out from top to bottom.
Heres the set ready to go at University Hills Crit tomorrow. For those wondering about flat protection, we throw in about 30cc of Caffetlatex sealant. I don't like to use Stans due to trace amounts of ammonia which will degradate(sp) the latex tube over time.
