Seating rear tire bead
So, am I the only one who has trouble getting the bead to seat on a KLR rear rim? Just put a new TKC-80 on tonight for the trip to the Creel rally, and the freaking thing refuses to pop up over the inner bead on the rim. Deflate, break it down, lube it up, inflate, blah, blah, blah. Nothing worked. This isn't the first time, I have 2 KLR's, and have the same issue with both. Front is no problem. I used to have a BMW GSPD and had the reverse problem with that, the front was a pain. I pumped it up to 70 psi and will leave it out in the sun tomorrow and see what happens. I'm getting tempted to grind down the ridge on the rim. Any less radical suggestions?
