Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

A trick that sometimes works like a charm, when it doesn't it's no loss anyway.

Inflate the tire to about 25psi (just enough that you don't dent rims). Ride slowly around a parking lot or on a flat street. No hard acceleration or braking because that shifts the tire too much. Now bring it up 10 or so psi and repeat. With luck it'll massage itself home.
