Who has a tip on seating the bead on a tube rim and car tire??
I believe I read the seating is the tricky part and most difficult???
low tech trick,,,spray hair spray into the tire,,,light a match. remove the valve stem innards first.I`ll make 10004 then...

That would be fun to watch, from a distance.....low tech trick,,,spray hair spray into the tire,,,light a match. remove the valve stem innards first.
Like anything else you have to be careful. I have done it a few times, the trick is to not use too much. The purpose built air tanks to do this with are out of my reach to only be used every now and then.That would be fun to watch, from a distance.....
Tube in the tire will not allow the hair spray, or Ether trick to seat it...
Our son John says he don`t remember IF a spoke rim will allow use of the "darkside" tire...
He`s only seen alloy type wheels on this ???
I`ve had 80 pounds in it and it still ain`t seated...
I put 70#s, greased the bead area and set it in the sun about noon...
I`m about to go see what else I can do with it...
I got all the other stuff done >
Chain & sprocket installed
cleaned and lubed rear brake components for smooth action too
Never have bought the Honda Chain & sprocket set until this one, I had to take 8 links out to achieve 122, as the set came with 130 links...
I reckon to accommodate other models?
OR Mike just ordered the wrong "kit" for My ACE???
Ain`t sure?
Scared says 90#s, I`ll jack it up, (if the sun ain`t done so already)

Oops, I misplaced my calculater10001 now, put iridium plugs in.

I'll be praying for a quick healing for you.I've been busy, turned my vt500 in to a bobber, bagger then had it as a more modern style.
Of course that was all in my head because I am still healing from an overly painful ventricular hernia surgery all week. No riding for me yet, maybe another week. I can hear the VT calling me at night when in trying to sleep. ??
