Hello,

Can one use the new style wire, non-folding 27 x 1 1/4" tires (Continental Sport 1000) with older non-hooked type, Weinmann raised center rims? It's clearly marked on the tire "mount only on hooked type rims." Does anyone out there use this tire/rim combo? Would anyone admit it? Thanks for your time.
