Title: tryes dont seem to fit, is this normal ?
Post by: squigly on December 14, 2011, 02:21 PM
A while ago i bought some White Gusset pimp tyres, can tell you the size off hand  but when fitted to my tuff II's they are about 2mm too large making them slightly egg shaped when the tubes are inflated, the tyres have an almosdt bead like edge that sits against the rim and when i get this located most of the way around there is a section along the rim about 5" long where it just doesnt fit


anyone else experienced anything like this ?

It's the tuffs, try them on some proper wheels and I bet they fit fine  :daumenhoch:

You will have to partially inflate the tyre,  Centralize them then continue to inflate them.

They should then run sweet as :daumenhoch:

Agreed :daumenhoch:

the walls on the old school wheels had tight tires on them - now they are slightly larger tires on some as the wall on the rims are larger thicker on new ones

Problem is using new tyres on tuffs,  but as said above and partially inflate then seat them no problems on New tyres either :daumenhoch:
