Folding tyres

Posted on
  • Hello I just bought myself some Panaracer Pasellas ,they arrived and I realized that they are of the folding kind, with a kevlar bead,rather than rigid wire.. Anyway probably a silly question and I should just try but before I do thought I would ask... I have never fitted folding tryes before, and have you folks any tips for doing so? ....
    Thanks loads

  • They are the same as wire bead. Just put them on whilst praying to Jeebus.

    This assumes you know how to fit wire beaded tyres.

  • come on now..... you can't be serious ?

  • I'm totally serious... Maybe daft.....

  • Yes.

  • Im just saying that having got them out, and having many times fitted wire beaded tyres , I find it hard to think how they stay in place whilst fitting... Anyway I I will just try rather than writing on here....
    Thanks though....

  • Fit one bead over the rim then... oh what the fuck.. on the old forum you would've already been insulted so many times you'd either be crying yourself to sleep right now with wet pants or you'd have just fitted them and come back to sling some shit at someone else. Grrr.. noob diet harder to sustain..

  • it's a little funny when they come out of the box, they are flat and don't have much shape.

    just get er done.
