In some of the videos I watched….there was a loud POP when the beads seated….and in other videos the beads seating sounded like crinkling paper. Don’t know if that had to do with the tires themselves or the design of the rims.
Mine def sounded like crinkling paper when they seated, but if pressure went down too far before I got the presta valve in….the bead would pop off. In theory….a tire bead should NOT dislodge just because of low pressure(tire was hanging on a bike stand).
Was the witness line visible all the way around the tire?
