I've been working on bikes over 25 years and never had so many blow outs on a clincher install-you've got to be super careful the first time, maybe use a smaller 23/25 tube at first since a new Strada Bianca is really flat and tight. Use lots of talc, and pump 20psi, check the bead and repeat until it's up to pressure. I put these on a tandem, and we had 1 blow out and 2 flats in the first 22miles (blow out probably due to tube pinching or bead unseating, flats from a staple and a small sharp pebble) then we enjoyed 400 trouble free miles in 6 days. It took me a good 50 miles to have confidence in them after the blow out. I exploded 4 tubes total until I got the job done right.
