Seating That FIRST Tire Bead: Easy Method

There are various methods online for seating the second tire bead, but you can take much of the fight out of it if you are able to seat the first tire bead beforehand.
This is especially the case with new tires, because the beads are close together, and not out where they will seat on your rim. Once you have that first bead seated, you can use several methods... even just pushing the wheel in to the remaining bead... to easily finish the job.
