+1 this seems to work even on the meanest tire/rim combos (that I've experienced, anyway). I once had to help a fellow rider fix a flat because he and others who tried couldn't get the bead started over the rim at all. For some reason, none of us had a tire lever at the time although we did have a patch kit. Anyway this technique to the rescue. I learned this method from a bmx riding buddy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
