WOW Andy!

Two come-a-longs work well to load a spare or flat into the bed. They come in handy for other things too.

I don't know if it has been posted, so I will (maybe) say it again, I have found most tires on deuce rims FULLY seat around 30psi. Seems as if you haven't got that far yet.

Haha! Squirt some gas on the rim, hit it with the pic-axe, watch spark ignite gas, go find old guy after explosion! What a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Yup pretty much.

So was she baptizing that one? :twisted:

If you don't have access to a cage, I use chains around the rim. Make sure you leave some slack, the tires grow when you air them up!

HAHA! Thats using your grey matter. I think that would be great. As M16ty said careful of the rim and take video!

Pull the valve core out, and the danger is gone. The air pressure is what launches the rings.

Just to be clear, there are multiple designs of rims with rings. The split rim is the big killer that you hear the most about. The deuce design is a lock ring design. It is much safer, but can still kill you if you don't pay attention to what you are doing. I have done many without incident, but...

I'll have to take this up with "SoldierB Inc" and see what they have to say. Maybe I should sue for $900.

(Homer Simpson voice) MMMMMMM jelly doughnut.

Well I tried it out today and I think I might like it. It wasn't as fast as my prior method but that might change with practice. Yes Eric, I did smash a finger and I blame you as it wouldn't happen if you hadn't pointed it out.

I just had that sitting around. I plan on making a stop, and getting some tube that will go on the outside of it. Good point though.

Dunno what happened...

So, I was looking around the garage this weekend, and decided I had the parts to make my own tire slide hammer tool.

Huh, I don't know. I have never seen that. I would imagine that its still good and that maybe the curve is to aid in removal? Lets see what everyone else says. Would the PS mag at the top cover this?

RE: tire tools Mike, are you trying to get the ring on or off? I have just set the ring on the rim and then stepped on the ring to get it to drop into its "notch". Sometimes I have to stomp on the ring a little, but nothing worth THAT much of an effort. If the tires just came from another rim...
