I'm running stans rims and yellow tape and have had a few problems myself. Basilcally if the tyres have been folded up the shape doesn't quite get there! with a track pump. I had to resort to CO2 or a compressor for the first fit got them back on with track pump second time round but didn't fold them in between, left them hanging!

is it a UST nobby nic - not that it really changes anything but they have v broad "feet" to the bead & maybe failing to jump up onto the rim.

lots of soapy water worked for me

pre-inflating with a tube in is also q good

(I also recently had a UST NN with a faulty moulding & it just kept blowing off the rim - it has a real bulge in the sidewall at one point - best check it's not that before you ride ?)

Genius - thanyou STW crew - took the valve core out, pumped like a maniac and got good pressure, then added some soap suds to the bead, pumped again and it popped straight on - who's a thought it - cheers guys ๐Ÿ˜€
