Quick "review": Schwalbe Easy Fit mounting fluid

7077 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  shiggy
I was mounting a Panaracer TrailRaker (with an inner tube) on a UST rim. I could not get one section of the tire bead to pop into place. It was hanging up inside of the bead lock ridge. After pushing and pulling for a while and inflating to 60 psi without success I reached for the Schwalbe Easy Fit.

Deflated the tire. Swabbed the mounting fluid on the offending section of the tire bead. Inflated to 40 psi and the bead popped into place perfectly.

Good stuff.

So what is it exactly? Is it a rubber-friendly wet or dry lube? Does it encourage the tire to rotate around the rim at low perssures under accel/decel (not a big deal with UST, but a mechanism that can shear a tube's valve)?

Once it dries it is no longer a lube. The label claims "Fluid evaporates completely." Do not know what's in it. Nearly odorless.
"Nearly odorless." How much sniffing did it take to reach that conclusion? ;)

Not sure. I seem to have lost an hour over the weekend!
