Wheel tyre problem

    I got a set of Campy Eurus wheels off here, two way fit. I got the knack for getting tyres on despite how tight they are but for the life of me I cant get the bead to sit right no matter how I approach them.

    I have tried Continental Gp4000 23mm and Vittoria Open Pave 25mm

    HHHHHeeeeellllllppppp!!!!

    How is it not sitting correctly? Ie the ful way round on both sides or just at the valve or other single location. Any pictures?

    If I spin the wheel you can see the tyre inflated going up and down on the rim, I will get a few pictures up

    Hi had same problem with two way fit shamals,soapy water around the rim and tyre bead before you inflate,
    should pop into place as you inflate.

    Got it sorted, bit of soapy water and 120psi. Could hear it popping into the bead.

    Thanks

    I had similar experience with my two way fit Zondas. I simply pumped the tyre to around 150psi till it popped and then deflated it back down to the normal 100psi.
