    Legend, I was about to throw my wheels out the window earlier as both my tyres were get stuck and not engaging equally. A small bit of soap and problem solve.. thank you.

    Many thanks to you JJHJ . I spent more than an hour trying to seat the bead by the valve stem . I applied dish soap to the area and it was done within 5 minutes . 👍

    Must say, thanks for making this video. I tried, seating first side with a tube, but could not get the other side to seat. Tried using a belt around the tire, no success. I did try soapy water , but no success. Wasted a co2 cartridge. Its your method, undiluted (in my case dish washing liquid) that enabled me to get the other side mounted, using a track pump. In the future I will try your method to see if I can get both sides seated in one attempt

      Yes, still riding on them today as you can see. These Ascent 2's are probably lighter than most of the new wheels today. And yes again, roll smooth and fast.

    My new tyre, a continental urban contact 16", has this exact problem. after changing both the tyre and the inner tube (a 16"/18" Schwalbe), I had pumped the pressure to 90 psi without any problems. i took it for a test ride for about 10 minutes before it started raining so i had to stop. after a few days, when i wanted to ride again, i noticed that the wheel was stuck - that's when i noticed the exact same bulge as in this video. after some tests, the bulge always appear at the same location when i go up to around 21 or 22 psi. after trying this soap method, at the first try, the bulge occured again around 22 psi but it was further down the tyre - perhaps where my soaping ended? so i extended the soaping, and in the next try, at around 20+ psi again, the bulge reappeared at the original location. i deflated, reapplied some soap, and inflated incrementally, massaging in between the pressure increments. i was finally able to get the psi up to 30 without a bulge. i decided to take it for a short ride, and it seems ok now. should i leave it at 30 psi for a while before attempting to go up to 90 psi? anything i should do or take note of? this is my first attempt at changing a tyre myself, but i thought i should pick up this skill since i aspire to take my folding bike on longer trips overseas. thanks!

    • @BicycleRestorationMan
      @BicycleRestorationMan  Год назад

      I would keep increasing the psi 10psi's at a time and see how it holds. If it bulges again I would check the rim in that area and see if there are any defects.

    hi, a portion of my tire has sunk inside my rim. It's the opposite situation of yours. I followed your instruction and applied soap and then pumped. It didn't fix my issue. Please help.

    • @BicycleRestorationMan
      @BicycleRestorationMan  11 месяцев назад

      Work the tire back and forth with your hands. Use the soap while doing this. Also, check your rim and make sure there no dings. Check under the clincher part of the rim as well.

      If this keeps happening with your stingray, make sure you check the rim carefully. Look for any small dents in the rim. Mark it to see if it’s happening on the same spot. Check that area extra carefully for any flaws or damage.

    what causes this problem with new tyres?

    • @BicycleRestorationMan
      @BicycleRestorationMan  Год назад

      I don't know if it's just new tires but when they are brand new they are stiffer and not as pliable. This probably causes them to not engage under the hook or clincher part of the rim. Applying the soap makes them more pliable and slippery so they slip or glide under the hook. Just my thoughts. Thanks for the comment! 👊👍

    • @geoffpoole483
      @geoffpoole483 2 месяца назад

      @@BicycleRestorationMan That figures. It's unlikely to be a problem with the tyre itself. In over 40 years of cycling I have had just one tyre that had a defect; the wire from the bead was protruding and I got a pinch flat; of course, it was raining when this happened. As a result of that experience I always inspect the bead prior to buying a new tyre; 99.99% of the time the bead will be fine but there's always a slight risk of a defect. Very helpful video, thanks.

      Make sure the lip of the clincher part is not bent. Also, if you haven't tried it yet, after you apply the soap push down on the tire over the area of concern as your filling the tire.
