Bikes: Too many but I like my pro flex 855 & 656. Also kestrel CSX, traitor cutlass, Ritchey “P” bike, Masi roadbike and bianchi milano

And one more trick

Then pump the tire up to your desired pressure and you should be good to go (barring any other issues, of course).
a little baby powder in the tire before assembly helps
