Title: Help with Easedon carbon wheelset tire install
Post by: camineet on December 25, 2024, 09:39:43 AM
Hi all,

Would be grateful for some help with an issue I've run into when trying to play with my new wheelset and tires this Christmas morning.

I bought these wheels:

and these tires:

I'm finding these items to be incompatible and am completely confused about what I'm looking at. Any help would be much appreciated.

The video at this link shows the problems I'm finding. I'm not sure why, but I'm unable to post images or youtube links in this forum. For images, I have to use imgbb. For youtube videos, I have to post a tinyurl because a youtube link posted in this forum results in a large whitespace in my post where I assume the video is supposed to be embedded.

Yo Merry Christmas! Great way to start the morning! Lol

I watched your video. Just bring it to the shop. You have nice wheels and you don't want to mess them up. That tire needs to be beaded on properly. While you're at the shop, skip the tubes and have them install the tires tubeless. It'll make life easier!

Try mounting like it is tubeless. The first side of you tire always go on easy, the second one is the one that may require some force.
What is the marking on the side of your tire?

Hey guys thanks for the replies. Ok yeah I'll just take it to the shop.

The markings on the tire show 650b 47mm. So it's not like the wrong tire shipped.

Ok then there is no reason for it not to fit, just put the first side of tire, then your tube that you will slightly inflate for it to take its shape and then put the second side of your tire. No reason to go to a shop for that!

I might try that!
