[QUOTE="yz250-effer, post: 134374, member: 20448"] [b]Here are some tricks I use:[/b] [list] [*]put grease on the beads - yes grease. A thin coat. Never doubt the grease. [*]When you put the first bead on the rime, put the far bead over the edge of the rim lock that will be it's home. You will ever have to deal with a rimlock again. [*]Buy a tire breezer and a rubber mallet OR 4 good tire irons. With a tire breezer tool, I have only pinched one tube in 6 years. [*]always pound the bead towards the center ( on both sides) before taking off the old tire, or getting the last part of the bead on the new one. [*]unless you are competing in the ISDE, relax and drink a beer while you do it, it will make the task go seemingly faster! [/list] 10 minutes is pretty good:) Also don't put more than 30 pounds in to set the bead. If the bead won't set then, deflate, spray some wd around the bead, and re-inflate - otherwise you could separate the tire from the cable bead. Not that I have ever done this..;) [/QUOTE]
