I recently fitted tyres to a box trailer. I had trouble getting the tyre to seal against the wheel. I found a solution using ratchet tie-down straps. I put them around the tread and cinched them up tight.

Taking the valve cores out allows a better rush of air. Obviously, put them back in once the beads are in place.

Just to polish this one off, the new technic https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=15908.msg135610#msg135610 worked on all the bikes (except the triumph which has so many issue I dont count it). I gave up the trial with the A7 as now I know how to start it after a layup it did not seam worth while. It will soon be warmer and the 3 reliable bikes will all start being used regularly and will not require the extended procedure  *smile*
