Never used it. I still use Nashua gaffa tape as I buy it for work by the box

I've got a High Roller II I can't get to bead evenly. I lathered it up in soapy water but the section of tyre opposite the valve just seems to sink into the rim when i inflate it. The section is probably 6 inches long and when the tyre is pumped up hard it gives a pulsing sensation like it is well out of round. Any suggestions appreciated. Not the end of the world just a weird feeling at speed.

How hard have you pumped it up?
I used to have a similar issue with the schwalbe crazy bob. Running up at 65 or so psi around town and the micro wobbles were very noticeable. My solution was to have the tyre around 30-40psi, where there was a bit of flex in it but also plenty of pushing power. Take the wheel off the bike and stand with the wheel parallel to my shoulders resting is so the stuck part was facing away from me and at 6 o'clock. Then place a foot on the back side of the tyre, hands at 2 and 10, lean the wheel over the offender, and push the tyre to roll it back under my foot. Give this a bit of a bounce until it was pulled out onto the rim.
It didn't always work and I may not have described it well, but it worked most of the time.

Check your rim tape isn't stopping the tyre from climbing the outside of the rim. Some tyres can be a bit tight and need a bit more effort.

Can you bleed Formula Cura with Shimano mineral oil? The Cura uses mineral oil, but the oil cost more than shimano, plus I already have shimano oil at home and syringe from SRAM brakes that somehow fit the Cura bleed port - I think!
I've googled, and many said yes, but some said not really because the brakes won't feel the same due to differing viscosity and/or mixture between shimano and formula oil.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Yes. I can't remember where but there was a comparison of the different mineral oils and the Magura was shit, Shimano was very good, Redline like water was the best. Everything else fell somewhere in between.

You forgot baby oil...best bang for buck right there! I'm not sure how it would go for epic descents, but it was great around town and for plenty of short trail rides.

Over to the politics thread, we voted in a prime minister that's part of the freaking hillsong cult, start getting used to the church telling us what to do again.
