I'm still loving the Procore with my CARBON Light Bicycle rear rim. This is
one of their older rims with a lower rim profile so the Procore valve stem is
just long enough. This is the perfect setup for me so far. My riding weight is
around 230lbs and I tend to destroy rims normally but I've gone all summer
without an issue other than almost all my non-drive side spokes loosened up on
one long ride up in Pemberton. I'm not sure if this was related to the higher
inner pressure of the procore tube or just that I didn't have enough spoke
tension. I've riden all over the place, done pretty well for an old guy in my
first NSMBA Fiver (that a number of other people flated on) and still have not
had my rim explode or crack (which I'm pretty sure it would have by now
without Procore).
After recently pinch flatting my tubeless front tire and slightly chipping the
front carbon rim I am thinking of going Procore in the front as well,
especially once the rains return and I want to run lower pressures for more
traction.
