DIY Tire Remval 2
DIYTIRE2
Friday, May 07, 2004 DIY Tire Removal 2 differs from DIY 1. We at BCL Labs stand 100-150' behind this one as foolproof and welcome fools who screw this up to cawment further. OK. Lets cut the expletive deleted here. TIRE CHANGING. Tool list- 1. Prestone silicone lubricant available at Woolmort 2. Park's TL-1 Tire Lever called ‘spoonbill' tire levers. 3. Blue colour, pack of three 4. Dutch Plastic Tire Levers imported by Kool Stop comes in 3 pack with a rubber embrader on the enclosure's sides! Amazing. 5. Abrasive pad, green color available at woolmort. 6. Rag, clean. 7. Possible use for Duct tape, Nashua 368 for velo or rubber strip splicing and valve hole mending. also sharp razor blade helps here. Wipe tire, rim clean. Inspect for punctures and mark rim and tire for puncture postions. Deflate tube.Make a tube deflator? Use a presta adaptor and center epoxy a pin to depress valve. A. Place wheel on your lap and at your belly Grab tire's bottom center with fingers both hands pinching bead inward off the rim's shoulders, deflating tube. Pinch pinch pinch pushing the tire forward or away from your position and outward until reaching rim center diameter then do the same but squeeze inward. Play ina gadda da vida if its around? Twisting may help if yawl can chew gum and walk. Understand the rim pinching and bead centering. Yawl are changing the relationship between tire and rim diamteres giving slack so the bead can be pried off the rim edge. Cyclists (me too) often wonder why the tire doesn't come off the expleted deleted rim after squeezing and whatever. "Why by golly it's the tires fault." ACH DU! Well NO!: truth is yawl expletive deleted stupid and the tire/rim gone and outsmarterd you big time. Gotta be smarter than the rim/tire! Astounding. Oh , there are ‘cyclists' squeezing 700 onto 27 and 27 onto… Know the guy who sits in an airplane hanger in Arizona with 40 thugs dressed ina tux and robes watching 20 TV screen 6'x6'. That's the dude controlling the rim/tire size. You have expleted deleted!! By the way, this dude exterminates ‘cyclists', yawl know right. Sooner or later… THE SOLUTION IS: (well, one of them. we can't cover everything here, right?) AFTER SQUEEZING YAWL BRAINS OUT, PACE ONE DUTCH HOOKED TIRE LEVER(TOOLIST 1) BETWEEN RIM AND TIRE BEAD AT 12 NOON DIRECTLY OPPOSITE YAWL'S POSITION. LEVER BEAD UP AND OUTWARD, HOOK THE NEAREST SPOKE. NOTICE HOW THE LEVER'S BEAD END IS LIPPED(OR HOOKED-HAVING MORE THAN ONE HOOK HERE GIVES ME A MIGRAINE) THE TIRE BEAD INSERTION END(AH) HOLDS THE BEAD IN PLACE!! THIS IMAGE COMES IN HANDY IN A FEW MINUTES. Repeat step A. Repeat A. if compulsive obsessive or anal retentive. Insert tube deflator prior to A. Now the bead will stay ceneturd and a max diameter shift will continue when yawl squeeze and press and twist rather than slip backwards-then convincing a neophyte that the factory has … this is a humorous list but time… OK. Now for the good stuff at toolist 1: Prestone silicone. Prestone has engineered this product to not only rip yawl off with as zero possible silicone but provide a usable product. Way to go Prestone!!! Spray silicone(that's what the can sez) on yawl no wait on the rim/tire wall from now inserted lever to about an optomystic six inches traveling right. Cleaning the levers and spray the tips is OK. Do not breath this ****. Insert toolist tool 2: the Park's spoonbill lever, a specialized tool. The Park spoonbills tend not to catch the tube when prying tire beads. Better than the hooked Dutch lever anyway. The spoonbill shape is effective for removing a fat tube from a skinny tire carcass without pinching and then holing the tube. Both sets are almost indispensable, cheap… and there's always a spare around. Loosen the fingers or grow another arm mit hand. Insert spoonbill adjacent Dutch lever and pry,hold spoonbill. Insert a second spoonbill, pry, hold second. A third, fourth…by now the beads coming over rim edge, the tire's carcass no longer tightly held onto the rim. The silicone lubes this beautifully: Itsa miracle. The finger dexterity, and arm, knee, teeth, required here is a developed art. Takes practice and ingenuity. Imagination. Intelligence. One thing to be said: learning how to use the tools may be more important than learning how to change the tire before the sun sets. Do not run the levers sideways along the rim top squishing(that's what you think but its not gonna be dude)to reposition the bead outside the rim. Running the lever along the rim top to move the bead over the top and free and NOT prying carefully often separates bead rubber from the bead. Itsa bad habit. Abrading rubber from the bead with a tire lever is directly proportional to the tire's expense. AHHH!! Remove tire, clean tire's insides, tube, slime liner and hang to stay clean. Clean rim's metal( who knows right??ceramic bearings?) inside clincher wall or whatever with a small 1x2" piece of green abrasive pad(woolmort) moist with yeah! Prestone silicone lubricant. After cleaning, inspecting, repair (yes!! self-sealing tubes are patchable) checking for tread direction and the continuing integrity of the velox/rubber strip-both repairable with duct tape (homedepot-avoid woolmort), spray another 12" tire wall with prestone and locate that portion as the next area for a pryoff. And check the brake pads for tire wall rub. |

What a load of work!
Not changing the tire, but trying to wade through this drivel.
