Vittoria

Important Safety Information

Hed Cycling Products believes it is unsafe to use Vredestein clincher tires or Vittoria's Corsa clincher tire on Hed wheels. Please read the following quote from Hed Cycling.

"We think their (Vredestein) tire bead is too loose for our wheels, and if used at the manufacturers recommended max pressure, there is a fair chance they could blow off the rim after an extended period of braking.

For the same reason we do not recommend Vittoria Corsa clinchers. That particular model has a looser bead than Vittoria's other models and for that reason we cannot recommend their use on our wheels. As far as we know, the other Vittoria models are fine.

In general, if a tire mounts onto our wheels very easily, it should be used with caution. Mounting a clincher should take some effort. Not super-human strength, but if your five year old could change your tires then be careful."
