Once it's dry and you inflate it, you should have pretty good edge of tire "seal". If you can't remove the tire by hand when it's deflated you'll be fine.<br /><br />This applies to the older standard box section aluminum rims, none of which had the groove for the basetape lump (the stitching lump). These rims include various Mavics and Campy rims.<br /><br />I don't have much experience with Conti (not keen on them, they're not very straight but they are reliable and durable, prob had 6-8 of them); Veloflex (seems like I had bad luck with the 6 or 8 I had). Bontrager seems nice (made in same place as Vittoria), I'll be gluing up a set shortly and ordered 2 more sets.

My rim doesn't have a center channel for the Vittoria Corsa Evo CX II "hump", under the tape, to sit in so the tire kind of rocks and there's a 1-2mm gap on some edges. <br /><br />Advice I received was to either build up some extra glue on the edges, which I completely furbar'd that and have to start over, or use tires without the hump in the middle like Continental, Veloflex or Challenge. <br /><br />Do you have any suggestions on a tire from these manufacturers or alternative solutions?
