Ali C Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 that seems to be the unfortunate outcome for a large volume hand made tyre. Best bet is to make sure it is all seated correctly and possibly adjusting it at a low pressure before pumping it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Leave it at 70psi overnight or for a few days. Let the carcass stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials hoe Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 had the same thing with my nokian's, just put pressure in I was going to use and rode 'em (like a normal bike lol) and they seated themself's on the rims fiine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAP Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Had exactly the same problem. Got it seated with a bit of fiddling and then rode it. It still has a bit of wobble but it rides fine. They seem to get better with use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdk Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Thats good to hear just means riding with a stupidly hard tyre when i normally run 20-25 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's worth checking to see if the rim tape is completely flush all the way around, sometimes the tape could be slightly off to one side and cause seating issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
