Was mounting my new front tire this past weekend and after seating the bead and setting the pressure, I went to peel of the label on the tread and read the warning not to exceed 40 psi when seating bead.
What?? 40 lousy psi?? I usually run my tires at 40~42 psi and it took about 90 to seat that bead, did I just get away with not killing myself?
PS I barely was able to break the bead on the rear and then could not spoon it off, guess I'm not as young and strong as I once were, so will drop it off to the shop tomorrow, lol.
On another note I also found out these stems don't fit the wheel holes, beware before buying! I measured the hole at 11.2 mm but the rubber shoulder was 13 mm, grrr.
