If he spent one million every HOUR, it would take 95 years to spend it.

Dawn dish soap is cheap, but there's this.... https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/NTH7652885

Sooooo.....where y'all at, next time I don't want to hand bomb my next tire? Going to the magician & back, takes a bit.

Me too. Here's one of my PA 10mm wrenches - great stuff - until you need to use it....

You know you want one. (So do I). When they were $550, I thought it was too much.

I sold a bike on Saturday to a fellow who's taking it there for a safety.

No joke. A wheel barrow tire took me 10X longer than a m/c tire, and it was 20X the struggle.

Me too, unless I got a buddy for the "3rd" hand. The back seat of the cage, windows up, in the blistering sun. (Bonus: off gassing lasts a day or two)

I use soapy water too (or windex), and I've got a pail full of rim protectors I don't use. Make sure the tire your mounting is situated in the drop area, or drop zone - opposite side that your spooning. It's very important to minimize stretching the tire, and it'll go on much easier, without...

There's a certain someone i know (on this forum sometimes) who doesn't use lube while swapping tires. That is exactly what happens every time he mounts a new tire. I still can't recommend it, but there is still about 50% of your bead that'll stick. Air it up, and check for leakage.

Maybe it was "leaded" gas!

I'd forgotten how slow dial up was, but for 3 days, gtam has been running slower than that. Anyone else waiting minutes for a page to load? (every other site that I use is fine)

Was the buyer's name Eric, by any chance?

The paved pathways on the Hamilton municipal golf courses are in just as bad, or worse condition. I played yesterday, and I think I got whiplash a half dozen times riding in the cart. Truly pathetic.

CT - only if the specific location has a motorcycle tech. I had my bike safety done at an auto shop. Owner gave me the poop on setting it up for motorcycles. He had to commit 8 hours to "learn how to do it" and cough up $4500. This is why many bike shops don't bother any more.
