I have used plain ordinary Windex as a lube to take off and put on tires. Works wonderfully. Squirt away... :wink:

I went back and deflated my rear tire and persuaded some dish soap in the gap between the tire and rim. Then I reinflated it and CAN YOU BELIEVE it worked and seated. Just kidding I used to use this same method on my street tires in the past but got a way from when I started the WD-40 thing since it pretty much evaporates. Tubeless tires are easier to seat on a tubeless rim I guess.... Anyway, all is well now both front and rear.
CAN you say ROKETARD?? Jason

Sweet, glad to hear it worked. Those street treads look great on there BTW. Light weight and nimble, that must corner like no ones business!!

Yes Ma'am, it handles like nothing I've ever ridden with considerably more lean angle.

Hey, I didn't wanna give him a hard time about that. He IS a "Roketard" you know? Kinda slow in the mental HorsePower dept.
