    I knew the bead seal on this combo was good, but I didn’t realise it was this good. Try as I might, I just can’t pull the tyre out of the bead socket. Any tips?

    It was mostly a joke.
    My thoughts would go to something like a washing up liquid solution in the bead and try and rotate it at least then try and pinch it off the rim.

    Let it down to 10 psi and ride it round some fast corners.
