I have the Schwable G-One Allround 700x45C tires and I'm using the Schwable SV17 tube which states it supports up to 45mm tire widths.
I'm having a hard time getting my tire bead to seat properly. It seems there is a dip in both front and rear tires after I fully pump up the tubes. I've tried everything and can't seem to resolve it.
Could it be that my inner tubes are actually a bit too small? They do state that these tubes support up to 45C but, they honestly feel a bit small for the tired.
Does anyone have some advice here?
This section of the tire seated OK, but you can see the tire starts to dip into my rim at the left:
This section of the tire is low and dips into my rim, and is not seating properly (Continuation of the image above):

I don’t think your tubes will be to blame mate, to get these tyres seated properly you need to lubricate the bead a little and over inflate them, then once they “pop” on you can set the pressures to what they should be.
Schwalbe make a product called easy fit which works great, you can water a little hand soap down and rub that on the bead and it will do the same thing. Don’t use dish soap because it contains salt and won’t do your wheels any good. And don’t put 1000 psi in just 10 or 20 over what’s recommended then let them back down when they seat.
