Double shot!!
Ok I got some chinese slicks from newmanz, and buggered if I can get the rear tyres to mount the bead and inflate. It's like they are the wrong tyre for the rim or something. Even some bead sealant didn't help. The fronts were fine - just blow them up.
I don't want to put tubes in them unless I have to. Any ideas ?
edit: we might go down to the track later today if anyone wants to come over for a look/ride/toke.

More air more quickly + some soapy water to help them slip.
You've taken the valve stem out, right? And you're using an air compressor to inflate them?
270 Degrees, then Joy & Repeat

Old bush trick, Spray a little engine starter in the tube, light. BOOF! Tyre inflated.
I have never done this... but if your mad it may just work..

Yes, and yes. That works good, until we put the stem back in to inflate them permanently, then we're back to step one. We managed to get them inflated ONE TIME ONLY and headed for the water bath to look for leaks - didn't even make it to the water bath before it had deflated completely. Yet the fronts mount and inflate perfectly.
LOL engine starter..That will take your fingers off!

Hey Db,
I would guess that your valve is leaking, can you inflate in water bath to confirm?
Double shot!!
Nah its coming out around the bead, bro.

So you got the beads to mount and pop (loudly) in place then? From your first post I thought you were having a problem with that.They're cheap and they last and they will do us learners for now. $40 compared to $100

If the beads have popped into place and it's leaking, I'd guess there must be damage to either the rim or the bead.
Hah, I just noticed what forum this is in. I thought you were talking about your Hyosung before.
Double shot!!
No the beads wont mount and stay mounted. No pop! It's like they are the wrong tyre for the rim. Tyre and rim brand new.
Uh huh. Nup. Little race bikes. I wouldn't really be keen on mounting a road tyre on a 650 - I'd do it if I were forced to. I've taken my rear road wheel off and up town to get a tyre changed and refitted the wheel myself, but not a front one.

SUPA GLUE that will stop the sucker leaking. Or gorilla snot. From mega 10 in a cartridge.

LOL we would never get the bitch off, bro. Nah I just stuck a tube in it - not the best but the wheel is round now and seems to be staying that way.

To be honest, I'd stay away from most of those shit chinese tyres. The Savas Greg sells out of Wellington are micky and cheap. Never had a problem with them beading up either.

SAVA's went on like a dream....popped like a dream....
Trick - get the rims powder coated ($15.00 and prevents leakages through porous rims)- a little dish washing liquid...no stress
I was literally fearing doing this, but real please with the result
...and as SlideMoto suggests - got them from Greg in Wellington - delivered next day
