Hi folks! New member here. I introduced myself a few minutes ago on Birds of a Feather. I'm restoring a 1972 Schwinn Continental and have several questions. I'll start with my most recent issue.
I cleaned the front rim and installed new rim strips, tube and Kenda K35 Gumwall 27x1-1/4" tires. When I inflated it, I noticed the tire wasn't seating correctly. Notice the lettering for Miximum Pressure is partly below the rim's edge. Same is true for the other side. I inspected the tire off the rim, and it appears fine.
Is it the wheel? Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks,
Tom
