  • Works well if something won't seat.

  • Works well if you leave the inner tube in.

  • You can run a lever under the bead, moving it into place, to seat some or all of it. This achieves something similar to the inner-tube trick in my experience - and you don't have to mess around with the valve

    Being 350tpi Italian 'open tubular' tubeless tyres these arrive flat as a pancake, so they need to sit on the wheels pumped up hard with a tube in for a bit anyway to become tyre-shaped.

    But given pumping up hard with a tube locks the bead on one side, meaning you only have one side to worry about, I don't get why you wouldn't do it?
