New set of Ambrosio P20s for my touring / commuter from Hub Velo last month. The Marathons I had on my old bike were never seated properly on the new rims and I had vibration when riding. Took em off, faffed, hauled em back on - still misaligned. So assuming the tyres are stuffed I’m now fitting Conti 4 Seasons...
I’m about to wang the whole lot in the sea! Damn nearly broke my knuckles getting them on and they still have about 8” of the circumference not seating properly. The whole tyre is lower in the rim at that point. I thought maybe it was sticking to the cheap rim tape so I’ve changed that and even chalked the bead. Same result.
Is it me or the wheels? Obviously the mechanic who fitted my tyres to the new rims in the first place had the same problem.
Aaaaaaargh!
