Hello. I just changed my tired for the first time and the bead isn't uniform all the way across the rim. I just trued the wheels, they have a touch of runout but nothing crazy. Will the beads seat them selves after riding a few miles or what.
The tubes inside are the correct rim size; but they are both a little bigger than should be. It's all the bike shop had. I'm wondering if this is the problem.
You need to go through a couple of inflate/deflate cycles. It'll eventually get there. When you deflate try to work your soap or WD40 to the part of the bead that won't seat.
Indeed :confused: I had a real cheap(ching shin I think?) tire that WOULD NOT seal. We ran some serious air pressure in it soap/water whole nine yrds and still wouldn't seal(p.s. Compitant operator at helm/shop mechanic) Finally he said just ride it and it will come in to place......he was right. As long as its not a major lack of uniformity just ride it see what happens. Tires are pretty darn tough
We just put a Kenda on my bike and we went to 70 lbs with industrial bead lubricant and i finally just rode it and it went ahead and seated. Those cheap tires are good except when you are changing them.
