[cool][#6000bf]You gotta get the seats in and you gotta get 'em in right. That process is tough on a new tube. Best to start by airing up the tube completely...without the seats...to stretch things out a bit. Now deflate to about 1/3. Next spray some water inside the pockets that will hold the foam seats and also wet the first of the two pieces of foam.
Lay the tube on a flat surface and begin working the first piece of foam into the pocket...facing left to right...not front to back. Push and stretch until you get it past the front and it will slide down to the front easier. Now repeat for the second piece. Do not trim the foam. It needs to fit snugly to compensate for natural compression during use.
Be patient and work slowly and it will go together.
