Yo. Wtb Raddler 700x44. Rim is round, fine with other tyres, can't get these to sit equal around the bead. Latex inner tube. Any top tips?

reduce pressure to allow to reseat, pump up again.

if it still doesn't work then soapy water around the rims before inflating. This allows the bead to seat more easily. Remember to wash off rims afterwards for next time you brake.

Sanitiser hand gel is my new new and it evaporates .

I normally lower the pressure then pull the tyre out with my hands.

Overinflating to an extent can help.

Lube can help but I don't like creating extra mess.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
