I've just put some new sava's on my minimoto wheels. No one told me it would be a nightmare! But i'm having trouble beading them. Does anyone have any helpful hints?

You mean seating the bead?
Wrap a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tyre and tighten, should squeeze the bead into place then give it the air

put a tube in there. Simple. Then inflate it slowly while some one makes sure the wheel stays central.

Not my favourite color but I guess its the thought that counts

I run sava,s on the sidecar front wheel and heat them in real hot water use heaps of dish washing liquid and inflate with no valve ( gives ya the s&*$ts when they bed )
I dunno what you call it. I'm trying to get the bead in the tyre to line up properly with the rim and seal etc etc.
Get that tube of KY out of your girl/boy friends bedside cabinet and rub it all around the rim them pump it up really high till it goes pop.........
I find it really helps if you roll your eyes as you increase the pressure......
Seriously about 50 psi should do it.
That sounds like it could work!
Not a fun job aye Aero lol
I run plenty of dish wash and water on the beads and use a high flow air line my last set of savas needed 75psi to bead but the output is 150psi (high flow)..
If the tyres have been squashed under something and are not touching the beads when on then you need to sit them in hot water for a bit then wedge sometheing in between the beads for a few hours to keep them out once on the bead. I f you have to much trouble send 'em up and I'll get them on for ya.
Still cant get em to bead I'll take them around to my mechanics tomorrow and see if he can
Even my Mechanic cant get them!!!
dude, how many 2wheel 'vehicles' have you got?!
sounds like a job for Mr Insp. Gadgit then, if Chris can't even do 'em!!
