Brand new Aircorp rim and 2.7 Minion tire.
Using compressed air at the gas station....the bead won't seat and seal up.
The rear aired up no problem (same rim, 2 runs on the 2.5 Minion prior to doing this)
I don't really see how putting the sealant in prior to the initial air up will help...but is that what I should try then?
Or I was thinking perhaps mount up the tire with a conventional tube and break it in with a few runs, making it a little more flexible, like the rear.
(I'm working with the instruction that you air it up and seat the bead THEN deflate and put in the sealant)
