Hints for Tire Installation
 

  • DO NOT Use a tire machine. Rim clamps will impede bead from pushing in to rim.
  • Lay rim sprocket side down, install rim lock, lube up tire bead and install 1 side of tire, be sure of proper directional rotation.
  • Install tube carefully. A 2nd person is helpful to hold bead up while first lays in tube.
  • Final side lubricate generously. Start opposite rim lock. Use tire 3 or 4 irons to start bead. Wedge large screwdrivers in between bead and inner rim lip as you go. This will push the bead into the rim well to allow for looser bead when you finish at the rim lock. Be careful of the tube at all times. takes small incriments of bead each time. A second person is helpful to hold tire irons down. Work both sides equally until you finish at the rim lock. DO NOT force bead. If the bead seems too tight then you must try to push the opposite side down into the rim well more with wedges. Use C-clamps on the tire to help squeeze the tire together if absolutely nessesary. Make sure the rim lock pushes up before you take last couple of bites.
  • Run air pressure between 12 and 20 p.s.i. Softer tire for hard ice or harder tire for soft ice.
