Fitting Vredestein Scarab tyres
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone other then me has problems fitting Vredestein Scarab 26*1.75 tyres? I first installed these on a mountain bike about 6 months ago. I find them great to ride for the side of riding I do (road and gravelly tracks), but a real pain to fit as they often do not like to sit evenly round the rim, no matter how many tries I try to fit them, and this makes for an uneven ride. (And I wonder if the bad fit increases the risk of flats). The rim tip is in good condition. Someone on the net recommended using soap round the rim, I tried this but it didn't make any difference. The LBS managed to do fit them but even they said it was tough, they had to use some sort of clamp to get the tyre on evenly. Does anyone have any other tips for fitting these things? Its a real pain having to take the things to the LBS every time. Thanks for any help Jerry |
