Tyre seating problem
 

how high would you blow the rear tyre up to seat the bead. I have had it up to 50 psi with plenty of lube on the rim. Tried it a couple of times and one side popped but the other side is still reluctant to pop out. deflated the tyre and worked some more lube on the rim/tyre interface and blew it up to 50 psi again. Left it for a few days and it is still not seated. Whats your experience, should I take it to the garage and pump it up some more ?

Take the valve core out and take it to a garage or service station. Plenty of lube and get the air in there quick, you need to shock it on.

That's sounds good, I took the valve core out at first but only used my 12v pump, so i'll give that a go thanks

Blow it up to 20 psi and take it for a ride, on return re inflate to normal pressure.

That had occurred to me as well, thanks that's a couple of options for me to try.

Most difficult wheel i have ever had to get to bead out or break off .
Pumped it to 70 psi and no go .
In the end i took wheel off deflated it and left it beside stove for the night and used loads of lube .Then it beaded out at 60 psi
A spin partially beaded does work also probablly heats the tyre a bit .
There seems to be no easy way its just a difficult wheel to bead on orbreak the bead ,almost like you have the wrong tyre size .

What make/type of tyre is it? Some a much much worse than others for seating the bead. Also bad storage practice such as storing tyres on their sides for long periods, or buying old stock (always check the date branding) can lead to the beads being distorted and difficult to seat.

If it's a stubborn tyre, then a 12V tankless compressor won't do the job. They can meet the pressure needed, but without a tank they just can provide the volume of air anywhere near quick enough. To pop the bead on you generally need the full volume of the tube to reach at least 50 - 60psi almost immediately and use plenty of tyre soap. As Brian says - "shock it on".

comeragh and Pleiades, thanks for the comments. With all the help I will try the advice and sure I will get it. The tyre is a Anakee 3 and incidentally it is the tubeless wheel I got converted but I don,t feel that has a bearing but I might be missing something. Bart fills in the well of the rim so I thought the tyre might be hard to get on but with lots of lube it went okay. It has seated on 95% of the rim and with your tips I will get it seated sooner or later.

Thanks for all advice, valve core out, lots of lubricant and 70 psi with a garage airline did the trick.

Thats great garage is the only way could be a problem if you found yourself fixing a puncture in the niddle of nowhere .
