Hi all,
I've been away awhile. I have a 79 xs750 special (triple). I'm trying to mount a rear tire, Shinko 110/90/18. Tire goes one easy enough but I can't set the beads. I've tried, with a warm tire, lubing the rim and tire edge, pumping the tire up to 80 psi and the beads don't pop. The rings one the tires edge at the rim are all even. There are no leaks.When I deflate the fire I can press on the side wall and collapse the tire. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I never ran into this problem before???
