pumping up tyres . . .

(1/3) > >>

theRuler:
aaaaiiight. i got me some aero zytecs, with primo v monsters

now i like to run me tyre pressure at 75psi

thing is, anything over 45psi and there are more bulges than tim march in speedos.

whats the secret? how do i get high pressure without the tyres unrimming themselves?

Sanmarcopizza:
buy spoked wheels ;)

theRuler:
all my other wheels are spokey dokey

i just fancied some mags, for that old school flava. plus they are on my wife's bike. she's only 8 stone so they dont flex for her.

when i ride it, there are more wobbles than vanessa feltz going down a spiral staircase.

Sanmarcopizza:
Ok, a less facetious answer, seeing as it's for the little lady. Try pumping them up a little so the innertube has inflated sufficiently to fill inside the tyre. Spin the tyre and where ever the tyre is bulging, squeeze the tyre and push the bead gently inside the rim at the point where it is out of alignment. Keep repeating until the tyre spins true and then fully inflate.

theRuler:
i'll try that. if i know it can be done, i'll work at it.

i thought i was selling a deceased horse
