Trouble Getting New Tyre To Stay Up

danman,

I had a similar problem a few months back on my GasGas. If you go to the RYP website and follow the links to the tech articles, you will find one for replacing the rim band. This is a really good explanation of the process. What has probably happened is that at some point your tire pressure got low and dirt slipped in past the bead. Then it can get under the rim band since the band depends on air pressure to keep it tight against the rim. It is entirely possible for you to remove your band and clean it and the rim and reuse the old old one. The things are heavy silicone (or something like it) and cost around $30 US. The big thing you need to know is that when you put it back on, use soapy water to help you work it in place. It cannot be done dry. I was worried about using the soapy water until I read the tech article. I think Bill Ibsen wrote it.

RYP is doing a great service by making those articles available. They cover everything up to and including complete engine rebuilds.

Over here we can buy a product called Viagra Moose for impotant tyres.

This Viagra Moose will keep the tyre up for the trial no problem in fcat you may be able to play longer than the bike is willing to.

I believe JTT has a link to the web site that sells this stuff?

You can e-mail him and ask.
