Hi Kieran, On the A23, what are you using for a rim strip? There seems to be some issues on tubeless ready rims when using thicker rim strips like Velox. I'd recommend using 2 layers of Stan's tape and then trying again. We have several bikes in our rental queue with A23s and have had no issues mounting up tires. On my own A23s I have Compass Stampede Pass tires and Gran Bois Cerf Green Label tires mounted and all went on seemlessly when using the Stan's tape.

My next try was going to be on a Synergy wheel I have, but it sounds like this type of behaviour happens on those as well. Is the lumpy supple tire syndrome something that people just deal with and/or have simply accepted that soapy water, 10 minutes of massaging and adjusting, etc. are what's needed to put a tire on?

The wheel is nearly new with a White hub and Synergy rim. The tire is a brand new Pari-Moto. It was on my converted Trek 620. I can't see any obvious cause and here's what I've done so far. A visual inspection of the tire and wheel didn't show any obvious anomalies, so I checked the head set and decided to tighten it just a bit. That didn't have any noticeable affect on the thump. Then I swapped wheels with my Saluki, which also has pari-moto tires. Rode both bikes over the same short, hilly course. The thump definitely went with the wheel. Next I took the tire off. Pari-motos go on very easily but are hard to get straight.. I put the wheel in my little Minoura wheel stand. It is perfectly round and nearly perfectly true. I carefully remounted the tire, working to get it as perfectly straight as I can. Then I put the wheel and tire up on the stand. The tire moves in and out about 2-3 mm away from the side wall and about 2-3 mm away from round. I retested it and still got the high speed vibration. ??
