Can you seat a stubborn tire bead with a childs bicycle inner tube. Let's find out.

Great idea thanks!

Back in the day, we had a solid rubber ring that was only good for 14 and 15" tires. Your demonstration was perfect, especially filling the "outertube" . Way better than using ether too! Thanks for sharing this video, great idea 👍

[@mrbumblehill4596]

Great idea! I get the nobody to help you part. I was the lone mechanic at a plant on third shift. You need to be creative and sometimes "build" your own helper.

Well done! I fully agree about the dish soap. Aluminum rims should look pristine inside.with no corrosion but not the case when liquid dish soap was used. I use it to demount tires and then fully clean the rim, install new tire with RU-Glide. Have used much larger bicycle tubes with a twist/lap.

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

I get that people use dish soap and water mixed because they aren't going to have real tire lube on hand. But yeah it can cause problems down the road. I tested straight dish soap on a steel bar and even without mixing it was showing rust the next day.

Hello, Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge. As I have gotten older, I have been more of a DIY. Every cent saved is a cent earned. Also, there is a sense of pride and peace of mind in knowing that you did the job right.

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

You are welcome. I did this just to see if it would work. Might take a few tries as you may have to adjust things a bit. There are some other methods you may want to check out on youtube.

Thank you for taking the time to educate us. You my friend are "one smart cookie". Your commonsense approach is easy to understand, and I REQUIRE both of my young adult sons to watch your channel. Young folks today need to learn some BASIC skills that older people learned as a part of just growing up. Keep your tips and tricks coming and your channel will grow. Thanks Again. "HP"

Thanks for the good words.

THAT IS GENIUS!!! Been struggling for years with tire beads. Burned my eyebrows more than once with ether and the air cannon blows me back before I can get the bead seated. I'm on my way to Walmart to grab a tube.

[@utsports]

That is an ingenious idea ,that obviously worked

[@phattz03]

OBVIOSLY most over used word lately.

[@Nemesis-yn5wv]

Clever idea I like it. Thanks for sharing

[@Flussig1]

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

Glad it was helpful!

[@peglegtoo]

[@freeman368]

[@taza99]

great idea! thanks for showing it

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

Glad you liked it!.

[@billforrest4205]

Brilliant 👏

[@ironbacon]

Struggling to get my new trailer tires on, same sorta storage situation. Gonna try this as soon as the tube's arrive

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

Another way that can help is stretching the tires open using 2x4s or even a tube for your tire size, or anything that''ll do it.

[@valmir1209]

Amazing video

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

Thanks....

[@erxfav3197]

GENIUS. Love it. ❤ Thank you sir.

[@terryatpi]

Smart!

[@rogerlopez7490]

Thank you 1,0000000 times.

[@richbinaz]

Thanks. Wish I had seen this before taking on these Silverado tires. The strap method almost didn't work and I didn't want to get a bead blaster. Simpler = better kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXjZZoCLrceEacU I now have a 16 & 14 inch tube on standby.

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

Another trick is to use a car tire innertube. Inflate it inside the tire and let it expand it for a while then remove and mount.

[@richbinaz]

@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 I didn't know they were still making those. Most wheels have been tubeless for a long time

[@thetinkeringold-timer6934]

@@richbinaz You can also use anything suitable to stretch them open. Some pieces of 2x4 etc.
