tires on bead..help plaese!!

[joeyds450x]

i cant get them to go on all the way.... any suggestions?? its like this on both sides

[joeyds450x]

other side

[Scro]

Make sure they are lubed up, and give them more air.

[joeyds450x]

im already way past the limit it recomends....:confused:

[Scro]

You'll never get them seated if you go by the manufacturers recommendations. Those are there for legal reasons only. I've had to put as much as 65 psi in some to get them to pop.

[joeyds450x]

ok thanks ill try it n let ya know if it worked

[416exfreak]

Put about 60 PSI.

If they dont pop onto the bead then pick it up and bounce it like a ball.

They give those limits so no one can sue them. They figure if anyone tries, they can claim negligence on the tire owners part for not following thier guidelines.

I hate to say starting fluid or ether, but its the only way I can set my tires. I don't have any tire tools or a big compressor.

As a disclaimer...What I mentioned is not a safe way to do it and if you do wear safety glasses.

[JJs450r]

dawn dish soap and water with about 65 psi usually works for me its all most there just hold it till it pops on but ya make sure you have plenty of whatever your using to lube

[JJs450r]

id also remove the valve stem needle(not sure if that what its called) that way it an instant release of pressure

that actually works great lol, i just did it to my friends last week.

[TCracin440ex]

let some air out of the tire, put a ratchet strap arround the tire tighten it down...make sure its strong enough to hold....and then put the air in the tire...its gonna force the tire out instead of let it baloon

[joeyds450x]

^^^^ thats insane ive never even heard of that before... i got them on now about 65 psi and it went right on with a loud pop lol

thats how i do it. works very well. i also use wd-40 around the bead.

[joeyds450x]

[tyler70t]

Starting fluid and a lighter, quick and easy,just a little dangerous! Just did it this weekend! Just be careful

I tried that before and it didnt work as well as i thought it would, i will try the ratchet strap though next time.

[JJs450r]

everytime i use the ratchetstrap way i always end up pinching my finger

[dehner47]

take your tire n rim off your bike. put the max air in it. lube it up nice and bounce it on the ground like a basketball. it will cause enough force/pressure to slide the bead right on. trust me, its way saver then starting fluid or a rachet sharp.

[tach13]

yeah i first seen that being done on a baja truck tire when they were out miles from a comresure.

[Bryson#221]

Two suggestions: *Starter fluid & a *Lighter. Go nuts.

One warning: *Stand back :)
