WALKER EVANS INSIDE BEAD WONT BREAK.

[beally]

have had simmilar problems before with simmilar rims and racing rims with slicks.

you can do them on a normal machine, just need to only just move the bead slightly and quickly sping the tyre around and do it bit by bit really gradually, as soon as you put too much force on one area regardless of what the rest of it is doing because of the taper and the machined grooves in the rim it just re-seats itself.

also leaving them in the sun for a while helps too,

mind you so does xxxxxxxxxl bead breakers.

Bead sealer hey? MMMM interesting. I didnt think any was used when they were assembled. Is it possible that the brake fluid used to lube the bead up caused this?
Anyway I really want to know how you got the rims so damme shiny. Look brand new. Whats the product. where from and how much. Supacheap got it?
They look ace.
Cheers

The inner bead seemed to have some tacky mastic type product on it. It was stickier than the leftover autobalance junk. Might have been a tyre rubber/brake fluid/autobalance mess though

I used Chemtech blitz aluminium cleaner (autobarn should have it?) on the rough alloy and polished the machined surfaces with Brasso and a felt polishing wheel on my cordless drill.
