SUCCESS!! And no injuries! :D

Bought a tub of 'Remaxx Mont 2000' bead lubricant, deflated the tyres, cleaned the inside of the rims up, put loads of the stuff on the beads and inside the rims then pumped them up. The front 'popped' pretty much straight away and the rear centred itself on the second attempt - a bit of conflicting advice regarding BT45 tyre pressures so I've gone for 36psi in the front and 38 in the rear.
Thanks for the advice, I'm another step forward - chuffed! :D :up

Hi,

Pleased you got that sorted.

What pressure did the pop on at? Did you have to go to 50psi?

Nope, nowhere near to be honest - the front seated properly as I was pumping up to a setting of 40 psi. I reckon it was somewhere around 30 :up
