It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Reseating has always been the issue for me. I can never get the full bead seated without an air compressor, and even then it can be hard to get that final pop

I have a compressor bottle. You pump it up with your foot pump to about 10 bar and then use that to fill the tire. Works pretty much every time.

Here's the one I have.

Yup, it depends extremely on the tire/rim combination. Some are extremely easy, some are almost impossible to get seated.
