Marchesini Rims
Anybody had problems with them??? I have broke the bead on the front tire three times whilst out riding?? Yesterday being the third and stuck on the side of the highway for an hour. First tire was a Avon Storm, happened twice, and yesterday a brand new Pilot Power installed last week?? I called the supplier and they are looking into it, the stock front rim on the 14 is 3.5" right?

Magnesium rim? Could be a 16.5 diameter that would do it. LSL

I'm at a loss, they are looking into it, both front tires were mounted on tire machines in a shop???

I wonder if they machined the rim a little to big.
