not lost til out of gas
I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion to get the bead seated on my front tire. I replaced the tire, Heidenau K 60 scout 90/90 21, after some wrestling got it on the rim. now I can get it to hold air sort of, but the bead ( which is really stiff on this tire ) won't pop on the rim. I am using lube ( dishsoap and water ) , and have the tire holding pressure, but the air leaks out in about 2 minutes, and you can see the bead hasn't seated. my friend just called and said straight soap and more air pressure, so I guess I will go try that.
