HEy question, i went to fit 2 x11 yesterday and blew out 3 inner tubes all new ones, i cant seem to get them to seat onthe bead ?? am i missing something here ?

i sprayed with lub and pumped up and its still not all the way out in one quadrant.  Noticed they are tubless tyres is that the issue or do i need to use a bigger inner tube to push em out.  got me stuff whats going on there, even pulled out the locks as it seemed to be in that area

1/silicone spray works great.2/blow up to 60lb and leave in the sun.3/use packing strap around tyre to hold centre of tyre in.4/fit tube inside tyre ,not fitted to rim and leave out in the sun,sometimes when thhe tyres have been strapped together they hold that shape.5/keep doing what you are doing and keep your local shop happy selling you new tubes

[Freakshow]

thanks for telling before Mick,  i only just noticed myself when i was pissing about with them, went on fine on the modern YZ so who knows, maybe there narrow rims on the old schoolers ?

wont make that mistake again.

After Too Fast Tim (I think) mentioned on this site that the Mitas were hard to fit I have made a point of asking most that I have sold them to (mix of modern and Classic) if they had any probs with fitting and to date no dramas. Nobody makes a bigger job (well maybe Freaky) of changing a tyre than me and even I muddled through OK.

Always plenty of 4.00X18 in stock.

NAh MItas speedies go on like butter. 

This First time i have struggled to push a bead with 60psi in it, maybe cheap inner tubes. thats why they blew out. ( went through 3 before i reached for the Dulop HD.

I ended up getting it on by runing a rachet strap on the tyre/rim near the valve so the air when around the tube and pushed out the other side ( where it was not rolling up) and that seemed to work a treat.  it hink the issue was alos the rim lock was over the other side adn as it bit down it was stopping it moving down.  as the sidewalls are really sticky as well

all good

Re the tyres, I have always ran the Mitchy but since they have gone tubless they are a dead set hard time to run as they walk off the bead of the rim sending the tyre egg shaped & tearing tube nipples off even with 8 rim staples in place. My son riding moderns 5 meetings out of one tyre (Mitas)135 laps & myself on the Classic (Mitas) will not be going back . Sorry but Mitchy have lost me.

[Grasy 6]

ET 01  400*18 with heavy duty tubes. None of those Chinesae rubbish tubes. Long drive to Brisbane to save $10.00 on an inner tube to wreck ya ride. Regards Grasy
Hey Col reckon ya owe me a drink for the thumbs up 2

Grasy when you've got a Title Trophy in the boot of the Statesman I'll gladly buy Kellie several drinks. You on the other hand can get stuffed.
