Filo Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I found I had to pump mine up to 65psi for it to fully seat on the bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack dickinson Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 How do pedals "f**k up"? the axel doesnt spin, it cant get it to turn. so much so that when its tightened into the crank it unsrews rather than spins. tarty say they will have a look so im willing to sent it back. also just pumped up to 80 psi rode around for a bit and ddidnt work let tyre down and is the same.

dezmtber Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sounds like the moulding is a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 And then? When you let some air out. Does it stay? I have no idea how they hold at lower pressure, I run them at 65psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Running my rear at 20 psi on an echo tr rim and it's badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 What rim do you have Jack? Sounds like you have the same problem as I did and I found that I had a really small dent in my rim causing it to not let the tyre seat properly at low pressure. I have tried the tyre on another rim that isn't dented and it is fine. I am talking about a really really small dent too (In a trialtech sl rim). I wish Conti used Wire bead :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
