Liked your video! One thing you could add: When pressing that last bead on, it helps to press the side, opposite your working side, into the middle of the rim. This gives you a little more room to work with.
I just pinched 📌 two tubes and have one ☝️ spare tube left to give it one more try! I did not use any baby powder and I did not add any air until the tire was back on the wheel 🛞 taking a break before I give it another try!
it'd help to keep the bead in the well as close to the working edge of your irons, small bites at the end, are easy if the bead is pushed into the well, something there's not enough room for both beads at the same time, the first bead doesn't have to be seated either.. you can see how much struggling you do without it having the slack possible that it can. with that bead holder also (which is basically not needed, even it if it's a 6 ply Trelleborg (not 3 sidewall and 3 tread wall = 6) i mean the brutal 6 ply all around in the old days especially those you have to keep the bead in the well.
I have a 74 CL360 , my question is are Cb 360 and the cl360 the same motor because the cl360 has a worn cam journal and I have cb360 motor that I could take the upper from would that work?
You’d want to compare all part numbers. Not sure on the 360 stuff but 350 engines are basically the same from what I’ve seen. Always tricky swapping major engine pieces tho due to variances and wear.
Not that one. Then one that is the size of your tire spoons that you are using in the video to hold the tire up while you insert the valve into the wheel. Thanks!
I just mounted a 130 90 16 tire today per your instructions so thank you for that. I might add that I have car / truck tire spoons but they worked great. One thing I did was to put Gorilla tape on the ends of the tire spoons (2 wraps) so as not to scratch my aluminum rim. It also helped that I have a cheap tire machine bolted to the floor from Harbor Freight to hold the wheel from jumping around. The talc in a bag worked great too. Hardest part was getting the valve stem up through the rim but I have catchers mitts for hands. Thanks again for a good video.
I swear this guy is related to Jack Black. Talks just like him, good sense of humor.
Great instructional video!
lol. People keep saying that! Glad you enjoyed it.
Well done, that little bit of air in the tube makes all the difference, I haven't pinched a tube since I learned that trick.
That’s great to hear! It does help a lot.

Thanks for the tip! Appreciate it.
Great video tools for hole center down thanks buddy😊
It’s not the easiest process.
Its never so easy , great job , yes the little air in the tube makes the difference,thx for the powder hint
Not my favorite task. The powder helped a lot!

May the inner tube gods be with you. Slow and steady.

It’s one of those things I feel get better with reps.
What is the tool called that you used to pry the tire back to insert the inner tube valve? Do you have a link to one? TIA!
It’s called a “tire tamer”
I used the soapy water to slip the tube in easily. Is that good?
Not sure I’d want moisture in the rim.
do i take the disk break plate off or leave it on>
What is that tool you used to lift the tube up and install the inner tube?
If you can afford enough DW hardware to have an extra throne, you can afford a good tire machine 😎🥁
I wish I had the room!
any tips on how to stop an L shaped valve stem (as they dont av a nut) from slipping. please
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an l~shaped valve. Sorry.
im not sure thats what its called. it might be 90° angle valve??

What about balancing and mounting? Next video?
Enjoyed this, now I see why the tire guy charges so much.
Subscribed a long time ago, liked the vid.
Next video! Coming soon. Thanks, George.
What is that tool that you are using to help insert the valve?
Standard valve tool. Available at any bike shop or auto parts store.
Not that one. Then one that is the size of your tire spoons that you are using in the video to hold the tire up while you insert the valve into the wheel. Thanks!
On my Metzeler Roadtec, the directional arrow was on the opposite side of the tire from the red dot. I don't know why, but that's where they put it.
Every one seems to be different
It's like stretching a mosquitos ass over a rain barrel.
Lol. Yup. Pretty accurate.

?????? USE YOUR RIM CHANNEL PROPERLY!!!
Practice makes perfect
I would have put the valve stem through the hole first and thraded a nut on it...
It’s not as easy as it looks! Always trying to find better ways.
Thx bro, niiiice
Plastic bag trick was awsome!!...I'm going to put my nuts in the bag next, no more friction!!!....YESSSSS!!!..
Such a good tip. Saves on such a mess!
plastic bag awesome
Saves on making such a mess!
