With the tire seating, any time you change a tube or tire, fill that b1tch up with talc power, get it all over the inside of the tire and rim. It will help everything settle into place without sticking. It will help prevent pinch flats, though this is more of an issue with large volume low pressure mtn bike tires.
Also, what pressure are you working with? Pump them way up high to seat, 150 psi or more if you're having trouble. Then deflate totally and bring up to riding pressure. This will also help insure the tube is oriented correctly and not twisted etc.
Thank you so much for looking, that seems comparable to what I am seeing.
I went out and purchased some velox tape and talc powder, however I didn't use the talc powder because I didn't trust the source that recommended it. I think pumping up the tires high is what I missed. With the velox they now seem to be seated properly.
