[QUOTE="cr250john, post: 195783, member: 18838"] I have no problem getting tires on and off rims, my problem is getting the tube valve stem through the hole when mounting the tire. This seems to be a real knuckle buster at times. I'm reluctant to put something in the hole to guide the stem through for fear of puncturing the tube. What I tried this weekend while mounting a 110/90-19 rear tire was to thread a piece of fishing line through the hole in the rim, tie it to the end of the valve stem, then pull it back through the hole in the rim. After the valve stem was through the hole, I could cut the fishing line off the stem. What methods do you use to get the stem through the rim? Seems there should be an easier method to this task. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
