Hmmm ok looks like il make a trip to the local petrol station then, yeah tried washing up liquid maybe i didnt use enough  :LolLolLolLol:

billstup:
You need to pump it up slowly and check the seating whilst doing it, and putting 60psi in will either split the rim or blow the tyre off, I`d go no higher than 50psi  :-\

ATL:
Haha that would be funny at the local petrol station, the people yelling at me for pumping my bike tyres up with their machine, then BANG!

Cheers guys il give it a go tomorrow when my build should be complete.

Is it ok riding it like it is?

Not wishing to differ too much, I ran 60 psi on Tuffs with comp st tyers up till very recently and rode hard with no problems, BUT I may have been lucky and you have different wheels  :daumenhoch:

TwoBobRob:
Stick just 10 or 15 psi in, then roll the wheel along the floor, squashing it down every so often. This will help seat everything together. Once you've been round the wheel a couple of times you should be good to go and bang about 50 or 60 in there  :)
