And make sure your battery's tied down. If they can bounce, they hammer, and it wrecks them.. It can also strain/break wires.

all done! although he charged me $15 each wheel, which i gladly paid. Trying to stretch stiff rubber that feels like an inch thick is impossible. But, i handles much better with new tires. The shop i went to works on those rock climbing machines, but, it's like 1/2 a mile away. Guy told me if i ever need parts to come see him first and he'll see what he can do for me..

I had to take my last set of tyres to the shop to get them to seat them on the rims. I can break beads and get any tyre off (up to tractor ), and back on with just my six inch tyre lever I made for my bike tool kit fifty years ago. That's just a matter of technique. But the last set of tyres were too narrow to touch the rims and no matter what tricks I tried I could no get them to inflate. My son told me the bike shop had a twenty pound lpg cylinder with a big wide thin nozzle on it that they slip between the rim and tyre and then discharge and it blows the tyre out almost like an explosion.. And he was right ! The lpg cylinder had some trick discharge valve that emptied the cylinder in about a second. They got them seated in a few minutes after I'd struggled and cursed for about two hours the day before. I think that I'll just be paying them the few bucks when the rears are due, and as a mech, I hate having to do that ! Haha.
