All the best,

Thanks for the advice. I finally got around to working on my bike again, since I had a number of distractions (like a trip to Peru - see my other posts). Anyway, I did the windex thing again and this time inflated the front tire to 120 psi and it popped into place. The rear tire was more intractable. I inflated to 150 psi and it was still warped. Then I blew the tube. I put a new tube in. This time I sprayed the entire tire with windex and when I got to 130 psi, it popped into place. Now it is ready to go.

When you said more air, you sure meant it...But the important thing is that it worked. Thanks again!
