Edited: This was originally asking Rat Rod about his wheel set up from the copper orange bike. But this is what I have to ask.
I just bought some Kenda 26 x 1-3/4 whitewall tires and they are really nice. The problem I am having is that they dont seat completely round all the way around the rim. They fit the rim (schwinn s-7) fine...it's just when I inflate them..there is a part of the sidewall that doest come up to the lip of the wheel all the way so when I spin it...there is essentially a dip in the tire. I've had this trouble on my mountain bike as well. Is there something I am not doing correctly or does anyone else have this probelm? I've tired pulling up on it when its braely inflated to keep it up there but then it moves to another spot. It's on both front and rear and my mountain bike like this and I just cant get it perfect. My 700cc wheelset on my fixed has never had this problem. Thanks a head of time for any tips
