Just mounted my BFG c/t yesterday. seated at about 65 psi. I cleaned all the sticky stuff off the rim and cleaned it with the mesh strip I use for cleaning copper pipe before soldering. Use a generous amount of tire lube. First side popped up about 60 psi. Let the air out, relubed the other side where is was still not seated. Pumped it up to 65 psi. Still would not go. I took a standard 16 oz hammer and rapped the tire in the middle of the sidewall where it had not seated. About 5 or 6 raps and it popped up. I guess the vibrations enough to get it to "break friction". Undecided yet on performance. But in a panic stop today, GREATLY improved with no lock-up, just some tire chirp.

I have searched the threads to which I have not found the answer I was hoping to find. The question is this, How long can you stay seated on your stock seat before it begins to become uncomfortable. Miles or lenght of time I guess is what I am looking for. It might not be the seat either, just the idea of sitting there not really moving alot. Thanks, David
