Hi Curtis, With Cliffhangers (and most other tubeless compatible rims) you generally need to pinch the beads together so that both sides sit in the well in the center of the rim before you try to get the last bit of bead onto the rim. Were you already doing that? I've never had issues with Cliffhangers using that strategy.
