Bought a kenda nevegal stickE - running tubeless on a Flow rim. Looked at it this morning and about 6cm of the bead is not seated properly i.e. seated higher up the wall of the tyre.
Are kenda standards shit? this is the second (of 3) that i have had with a bead that is not the same all the way around?

I've never had much success running Nevegals tubeless.

They're buggers to seat at the best of times and seem to go flat much quicker than other brands I've used as well.

nah mine were OK but took some work to seal the sidewalls. over inflate the tyre and it may fix itself or blow off covering you in jizz!

Sounds like they are not seated, I've found it a pain to seat 2.35 sticke kendas.

they must be as they have been ridden twice and are sealed?

With tubes I have to over inflate to get it to seat right.

They might well be sealed but if the line that should be above the rim dips under it and the tyre wobbles then it's not 100% seated.
