The problem that I often have is that a small portion of the tire seems to be seated too low, not up into the hook. Inflate/deflate and work it...sometimes the soapy water trick works, but I have read that Silca or someone sells a product for this, but no one carries that out of the road. Or pump to full pressure and it loudly pops into place. Or...jut ride it and it seems to seat eventually.
