The rims are brand new so they will be straight. If the tyre is damaged, should I get a new pair?
Check the rim is definitely straight. Sometimes out of factory they’re a bit wobbly because of spoke tension. Take the tyre off the rim and then spin the rim to see if it’s straight. If it is straight and you think your tyre is damaged, try the process in the video again. When you’re pumping it up after putting LOTS of fairy liquid in, you want to make sure you pump it to a high pressure.
@@CharlieRidesMTB Thanks man I’ll try that now 👍
🤟🏻
Fairy liquid? Sorry is that just Water? I'm an idiot an never had a English lesson in my life (Norwegian) i just changed to winter Tyres because it's ice everywhere with snow on top i just saved the ones from last winter (missing a few spikes) anyways it looks absolutely insane i taken out the air several times trying to get it straight on and was about to give up before seeing your video i thougt Maybe the tyres itself had just been bent somehow by heat and drying or something i never had this problem with new stuff.. anyways is that just water? And does it leave any water inside when being done?
Been struggling with seating new tyres so much so that I thought they must be warped. but that fairy liquid top really helped me out and they seated perfectly. Many thanks.
anyone wanna just look at how clean this dudes grass is? just look at it!
😂😂😂 thank you, but it’s fake grass!
Tip that i learned when putting the tire back on it to make sure the rest of the tire is in the centre of the rim and not against the wall of the rim and it should allow you to push the last part of the tyre on by hand
Thank you so much! You saved me three more hours of stressing about nothing!!!! :)
Still one year later and this video is helping people out there. Thanks for the advice, helped me a lot today 👍🏻
Glad I could help!
Brilliant advice. It eventually seated after using this method, but it was very tight still. No idea how I'd manage on a long ride though if I was miles away from home. I guess a wobbly unseated ride would be the only option.
I've been trying to seat the tyres on the rims of my gravel bike for ages. I was getting soooo frustrated about it that I almost bought new tyres until I watched this so simple yet effective way of solving the problem. I can't believe I didn't think of doing this in the first place
I use cooking oil instead of soap and water. They say that the water can eventually start rusting out the rim. Any type of oil will work just fine and I just happened to have some cooking oil nearby and a small brush to apply the oil. Over inflation uses the inter tube to raise the tire bead and to proper seat the tire into the rim's lips. Over inflat the tire with caution because too much over inflation can cause a tire to explode, therefore it is recommended to use safety glasses and ear protection.
Mate thanks so much. Been struggling with seating a tyre for a couple of days😂 this worked straight away 👍🏻
🤟🏻🤟🏻
You are a smart cookie Charlie this made my tubless tyres on my road bike sit a treat even when i put a tpu inner tube in as i don't like tubess sealant that is heavy, messy and goes hard and doesn't work unless it's new. So thank you for the washing up liquid tip. Can't see why washing up liquid should accelerate aluminum oxidisation. Anything acidic or alkaline with an abundance of oxygen like salty water will corrode aluminium. Washing up liquid is ph neutral although as it is in water should not corrode any worse than water.
Anyway excellent video. Thanks.
Wow, that did the trick! Thanks very much! Saved me a trip to the bike mechanics. 😉
Haha no worries mate
Brilliant video! Saved me from going to my LBS to have them seat my new tires.
Just found your video (this one) and I got two new schwalbe tires today fitted one in the front, Was a pain to get on but it’s not sitting right so imma try this trick tomorrow
yes thank you , i tried the soapy water but it wasnt completely fixed reason being i was too scared to put 50 psi in it , but now i did and it works great , tyre is Schwalbe racing ray 29 -225
Thanks for that, worked well, I had to over inflate the tyres to 4 bar to make them 'pop' onto the rim bead then deflate them a little to normal pressure.
Few advises:
1. Remove tube's air before installing the tire. This will make it easier to set the tire in the rim. To make sure you don't pinch the inner tube while installing the tire, you can leave some air in the tube.
2. Every rim has a slight bending right in the middle of it, where the spoke holes are. The purpose of it is to move tire's beads there while installing the tire itself. It will leave you more space and makes it easier to mount the tire.
3. The soapy water is not actually good for the aluminium. It speeds up corrosion and weakens the material (Yes, aluminium corrodes too, slowly but still). It's better to use tire specific lube or if you like DIY methods, any kind of animal fat will do the job (pork work best).
4. Last but not least, if you put too much pressure with the tire levers it can damage the beat and could potentially end up with bend tire. It happens often to Maxxis tires since they are pretty much garbage (beside the harden sidewall models).
Thumbs up for you effort. Cheers!
Cheers for the tips, will use them next time and other viewers can use them🤟🏻
For real why is the sidewall like paper? My old wtb set has a solid sidewall.
Yeah I agree bro 🤟🏻
@@CharlieRidesMTB I touch my old wtb and it has a solid sidewall. While the new continental trash feel like paper and lose their shape after i unmount them
Wicked video bud 👊🏻 got me sorted. Clearest instructions I’ve seen. Bish bash bosh!!
Glad I could help!
Worked perfectly for my road bike tyres, thanks mate!
No worries mate. Glad I could help!
Thanks for the Video!
Soap and water works perfect :)
🤟🏻🤟🏻
I find it better to start putting the tire on the opposite side of the valve cause its sets further down in the rim when installing.
Nice one! I didn’t know the fairy liquid trick, so you’ve been a big help there!
Good video, I had a nightmare this weekend with my V2 I wish I had seen this video
Haha tyres are a trouble at the best of times
Thanks mate. Solved my problems!
No worries mate!
Your trick worked for me thanks a lot.
👌🏻no worries
The spoke tip was so good
👌🏻
i have a wobbly, so must try this !! Thanks (hopefully )
Let me know if it works mate 👀
@@CharlieRidesMTB your video good but unfortunately nothing can cure a wobbly maxxis Double Down. I am done with Maxxis, switching to Vittoria tyres
Thanks for the tips mate!! ride safe!
No worries, cheers for your comment 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Had a try, worked like a charm, you just gotta put plenty of liquid in.
Haha yeah it’s a good little trick. It dries up aswell after a while 🤟🏻
This worked really well. Thanks very much.
Cheers Pal! This just saved me 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad I could help
I did this twice and it gave a decent ping on the second try. It got me about 90% straight. I was thinking about leaving it in the sun then using hot water. To try and get it as flexible as possible.
Hey great vid dude, I just ordered a new bike yesterday, if u remember i asked about the spectral I’ve since decided to get the new Specialized status so this vid was super helpful coz ill likely be going tubeless when it comes
Oh yeah that bikes sounds sick🤟🏻
Charlie Rides MTB yeah I’m hyped for it
Looks sick is it a mullet bike?
Charlie Rides MTB yeah
@@powers14sj90 the status are sick check them out at specialized chelmsford
Thank you for the tips. Great video.
Man this was super helpful
Glad I could help bro!
I find this seems to be more of a problem with heavier tyres. I've had this issue with a pair of Downhill specific tyres (Maxxis High Roller II) and Schwalbe Magic Mary. However, other tyres from Zee Rubber and Maxxis (Ardents) have gone on perfectly.
I’ve had both of the magic Mary and the high roller II. I’ve had no problems with either of these
@@CharlieRidesMTB Strange
@@TimmyLtd yeah I've just had this problem with the High Roller. Probably due at least partly from dried sealant from when I ran tubeless.
I'm literally searching YT right now because I'm struggling to get my Magic Mary seated. Ironically my previous tyre was a High Roller II (had a stiched slash which finally gave in) which was also a pain to get on. I thought it was the rim but may be just these tyres.
Cheers mate, worked a treat
All good bro!
Great Job Thanks Mate!!! God Bless!!!
Thanks for video, great help 👍
Nice wheel, rotor & tyre dude, classy☺I always make sure the tyre logos & wheel logos are aligned properly! Looks great! Oops! 7 attempts & its still not 100% sat in the rim. Where the valve is on 1 side😝Fcuk it, not worth the stress.
Thnx! It worked in my case
It works
Thanks😊 mate.
🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thanks!
nice vid mate 🤟🏻
Cheers mate🤟🏻
Thank you! The tire is still not completely straight, but it's much better than it was :)
Glad I could help! I usually repeat this process a few times and it should end up making it almost perfectly straight
@@CharlieRidesMTB I tried it twice, second time with more liquid. That worked better. I may try again later with a bucket :D it was midnight when I was doing it so I didn't want to make too many popping noises. Also, I was wondering - does the speed of pumping have any effect? At first I was pumping as fast as I could, now I felt like going slowly and allowing time to slowly equilibrate might be better. I also go to the max PSI allowed by tire, then let air out to get the pressure I want - more pressure means more force pushing the bead into the groove where it needs to sit, right?
I’m not sure about speed of pumping, I’ve never tried. But yeah max PSI is probably the best thing to do
Good video mate. Maybe you should send this to Tredz cycles because the bike I bought from there recently had one hell of a tyre wobble.
Haha will do👀😂
if a tyre wobbles either the bead is damaged or it's not fully seated on the rim
@@jamble7k Not fully seated was the case. I don't think the bike builder used a torque wrench either as every bolt was nowhere near the recommended torque. Rear axle cam loose after 20 minutes. Bloody awful.
Some bolts (like the thru axle) do come loose on the first few runs, I have no idea why just happens on some new bikes. However, I wouldn’t rule out that it could be the mechanics fault 😬
spot on cheers mate
Glad I could help 😁🤟🏻
So the tube slides into proper positioning just with Water and soap ? Cool
I have tried this but there always seems to be a section that doesn’t set properly. Any advice on how to get the entire tyre set properly?
Have u checked that your rim isn’t buckled? If your rim is straight aswell, it could be a damaged sidewall in your tyre
Nice video 👌
Cheers mate! 🤟🏻
i live in a sh**h***e country, my motorcycle has the same issue, following your tutorial, and using really hot water. Tyre was removed from a rim that is bigger, now its not stretching and its wobbly.
I’m not sure how that happened bro
Didn't work for me, my tape keeps moving not sure if I'm able to glue it down 😩
Hmmm. Is your rim buckled?
Thank you 😊
🤟🏻🤟🏻
Hello ia still have problem getting the tire in (the last part of it) i already broke one park tool clamp, should i try anything else?
Push the bead of the tyre into the middle of the rim all the way around, it should slide on easily
@@CharlieRidesMTB thnks man it worked !!!
Sick bro 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Legend. thanks
Glad I could help!
Just managed to wedge a tyre on without that but it's not straight going to try this tactic in the morning before work will let you know how I get on
Haha it should work mate. Please do let me know! 🤟🏻
@@CharlieRidesMTB kind of worked got it to go on, on opposite sides and top and bottom but the 2 other bits will not go on looks like I'm going to work with a wonky tyre
Hmm that’s odd. Did you use LOTS of soapy water? More the better
Thanks man
No worries bro!
Hey mate, does the soapy water help prevent the bead from sticking and not popping out evenly around the rim?
Yeah it basically just allows it to slide easier so it can move to the edge of the rim
What if I deflate-inflate many time using tons of soapy water and it doesn't help???
Are you pumping up to high pressures. And are you sure your rim isn’t buckled
@@CharlieRidesMTB i pump to the maximum 4.5 bars (as per official tyre specs), rim is brand new DT Swiss, just built and true'd, I doubt it's a rim. Btw front wheel with same rim and tyre was all right from the first try.
Hmm, maybe the actual tyre is damaged?
no water needed just works great just soap
Are you putting tyre back on without a Tube? Or tubeless
With a tube mate
@@CharlieRidesMTB oh ok thats works better for me because i was having that problem when inflating my new tyres! There were all crooked LOl
Anyone can share how to seat a tire without using soapy water? its a pain in the *** to seat when using hand pump when doing a roadside puncture repair. thanks
There's specifically made tire installation lube that you can use.
Could try chain oil
Keep it up
Cheers bro🤟🏻
I like your cut g
Got it fresh for free at the garden centre
what's the liquid again?
acid
Hi mate,is that only water or you put something else ?
Hi, it’s water mixed with a bit of fairy liquid. Warm water is better then cold aswell
Thanks mate
No worries
Can you do this while the wheel is still on the bike ?
You’ll be able to put the fairy liquid in yes, but you won’t be able to change the inner tube / tyre. So if you’re just looking to seat the tyre then yes mate should be fine, just be careful of your brakes
@@CharlieRidesMTB could I maybe send you a video on instagram and you could tell me if I'm ok to put the fairy liquid on or if I need a new tube thing? Whatd ur insta
Sure mate. It’s charlie.rides.mtb
@@CharlieRidesMTB tysm rember check ur dms
@@CharlieRidesMTB I just sent the vids
Does this work with tubeless ?
It will do, just don’t use too much fairy liquid as you don’t really want it mixing with the sealant, so just use it carefully and in the right places.
@@CharlieRidesMTB alright thank you hoping it’s just my tyre and not my wheel which is buckled haha
Easy way to check is see if any of your spokes are loose (if they are all the same tightness / looseness it should be fine) but you can also just take your tyre off to check aswell.
What liquid? I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying?
Just washing up liquid mate. Or any sort of soap will do
@@CharlieRidesMTB thank you SO MUCH! I ended up using soap and 65 psi of air then the bead popped into place. I was so happy! I'd been working on it for hours!
Glad I could help bro!
Hey bro, if you want to can i know ur height cuz im having a dilemma on whether to get an s frame or m, thanks
I’m 157cm and have a size M🤟🏻 it’s a bit big but it’s still fine
@@CharlieRidesMTB oh dang, we are the same height
@@CharlieRidesMTB im guessing if i had a 35mm stem and had my seat all the way forwards an M frame would be good, thanks for the help 👍
Yeah I have a 50mm stem and my seat in the normal place and it feels absolutely fine when riding, it’s just a bit tall when you try to put your legs down on the floor
@@CharlieRidesMTB ah ok, i think canyon sizing is a bit different from most bikes, i think I'll stay eith an S tho
Did you have cushcore inserts in there when you did this? How hard is it to do with inserts?
Did you call that, fairy liquid?
what if your tire is hitting your foot when you turn
I admire your enthusiasm, but ou got the unmounting and mounting of the tire wrong. Squeeze the exterior/wire into the middle of the rim's V. This way you will be able to take it off or put it on without levers.
My way wasnt wrong, just a different way🤟🏻
Someone told me this year's ago and it's the best common sense tip ever. Makes getting the tube on ssi much easier.
U scratched the crap out of that rim,don't use them stupid tire levers
They’re plastic
Didn't work
Hvv
Hmm
