There have been a few threads on the casings of the CdV's over in the 650B
list and on iBob.  Some people have found that the beads won't seat and
others have mentioned minor flat spots.

The common fix is to over-inflate the tires until the beads seat or the flat
spot pops out, then deflate to preferred riding pressure.
