I like to think I am pretty mechanical and technically savvy… That doesn’t mean I cant or wont royally screw things up from time to time! I want to say that for the record all bikes I own are tubeless, road, gravel mtb and multiple different wheel sets. I am not too unfamiliar with tubeless thing…

Yea I agree. There are a lot of factors that influence how hard it is to get a tire on that does not have to do with tightness of the rim shelf. Shape and depth of the center channel, width of both the rim and tire, height of the sidewall of the rim…

Quick update; The G measurement on these rims is 5.5-5.7mm The RH Barlow pass was able to be taken on/off the rim by hand. Although flat they had a mild bead seat still with a tiny bit of pressure when it was broken. The Pirelli Cinurato require a tire lever to mount and went on with a flo…

Wait…are you saying the bead broke on its OWN? Wayyyy too loose if that’s the case. I have to use nearly all my strength to get the bead to break on my rims with 0psi in there… More tim tape is the answer…

I was able to unseat the bead with finger strength, I didn’t need to roll tie tire over and use palm strength.

Oh Ok I misunderstood…I thought it just unseated on it’s own. When you unseated the bead did it still hold air?

Yes it had a puff of air that came out.

Mmm. Maybe I’m not describing this properly. When I have my tires down around 10-20psi, I can push a section of bead completely into the center channel with my thumbs, off the bead shelf, without losing any air.

The disclaimer is at the bottom of the page for their pressure calculator.

This is not the case for these tires/rim combo, you push the bead at all and its coming unhooked. I received an email back from nextie and they say the BSD for those rims is a measured 622 without tape.

It should definitely not be easy to unseat a thbeless tire with your hands. I mean you dont necessarily need to feel like you’re going to break a finger getting them off the shelf…but it should definitely take substantial force. You just need a couple layers of rim tape IMO. You’ll have the same iss…
