    Hi,

    I've got Avon Roadriders which i've fitted to my snowflakes. However, the bead refuses to sit correctly on both wheels. Took them to a local bike shop and they weren't able to get them to fit properly either.

    Anybody have problems with these tire and wheel combo?

    Mounted mine without issue although I've converted my rims to tubeless. :eek1 . In what way are they not fitting properly?

    I have Avon Roadriders on my snowflakes on my 84 R100RS and they went on without any issues. Not sure what is going on here. ???

    Sounds more Snowflakes with Avon issues than the other way around.
