2008 Specialized Roubaix tires...anyone else having issues?

[-dustin]

Replaced at least 6 Roubaix tires (700/ 23) in the past month, all on 08 bikes. Inner casing is separating, creating a huge bulge in the tire. if the stays are wide enough to not rub, and the tire continues to get ridden on, the outer casing/ rubber will tear and tube will bust through.

anyone else seeing this?

Man, you're just not having any luck with the big-S stuff are you? Shoes, rubber, cranks...

[-dustin]

Yeah. Kind of strange. People love bitching about Cannondale recalls, but damn. Speccy's striking out.

No issues for me.

we must get targeted. did you guys hear about the Scalpel Team that had the shock mount fall off? Customer of our's. 2nd one in the US with that problem. Crazy thing is that his replacement had the exact same issue. 3rd frame in the US with that problem.

Ouch. I guess I'll just take my licks with Easton and FSA. :D
