Michael, The first mount on Synergies is the toughest. They seat much easier after that in my experience. No crying after the first time.
But even with Synergies I had no problem pulling off and putting on tires. It was just the bead seating that was tough. But I found that as long as they were very close, maybe only one area of bead diving a smidge under the rim edge per side, they would seat the rest of the way with a slow spin up and down the street. Flat street. About a one minute ride. So if I just fixed a roadside Synergy flat and it wasnt seated easily, I would try riding it slowly for one minute and then get off and see if that smooshed everything in place. If all is good, ride on! But I can say I won't buy Synergies again if I have a choice. I like the GB rims so much. They seat almost automatically for the Hetres and Loups and Cypress. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
