New Metzler.&nbsp\\; They are telling me that&nbsp\\;the bead&nbsp\\;will not seal to the rim,&nbsp\\; won't hold air.&nbsp\\; Anyone had this happen, or know what to do?&nbsp\\; thanks.

If you don't have it fixed by now, try soapy water and air 'till it seats.

Had the devil of a time getting&nbsp\\;a Bridgestone&nbsp\\;bead to seat on&nbsp\\;my Dyna (Dunlops were unavailable at the time&nbsp\\;due to their strike).&nbsp\\; The local tire shop where I buy car tires finally got it with some special kind of wax they glopped on and a gizmo that delivers a sharp blast of air.&nbsp\\; I've never had that problem with Dunlops and will not use anything else if I can help it.
