No, all tires are hard to seat perfectly, for the reason you cite. Older rims are worse than newer ones. The issue is nnot confined to Hetres, nor is it impossible to get satisfactory seating even with the worst older rims. lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: Hetres are a bear to get the

The deep well thing is annoying to read about given the amount of people who ride Hetres on Synergies and have done so for YEARS until someone decided it was hard and decided to make a case for it. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners

I also was mounting Hetres on synergies before I ever heard of this issue. I never died from improperly mounting them, I think at least. On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 9:57 AM, 'Hudson Doerge' via RBW Owners Bunch rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com wrote: Yeah I've gotta agree on that point. Mounted

+1 on Justin's point... I'm sure it's my lack of attention to detail but my Hetre's mount good enough for me and w/out any exceptional efforts on two different set's of synergy rims. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To

Here's the page about it. I found mine to be hard to get a uniform bead seating on my Synergies. But after a short ride on them they seem to pop into place. Maybe different runs are better for Synergies? http://janheine.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/mounting-tires-on-rims-with-deep-wells/ -- You

I ride GB Lierre tires on Synergy rims, and I encounter the same issues Jan highlights in the above article. I use his methods (barely inflate tire, massage it into place) and I get the tires to seat (eventually). Riding a partially-seated tire doesn't seem to work for me, only seating it

I recently installed a Hetre on a brand new Synergy rim. No problem seating the tire correctly so it looks like the example on Jan's blog post, but the tire doesn't mount so that it's evenly round. That being said, I have the same problem with Hetres on Dyads as well. I've found them very hard

Hetres are a bear to get the bead set right on Synergy rims because the rim wells on Synergies are alleged to be too deep. The new run of Grand Bois rims and the A23 Velocity rims ((with Stan's tape) are touted as the solutions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
