[TheForge] Sometimes dumb ideas really work! (Warning: No real metals content.)

[J. Petrila]

The best method I have seen is a bead cheater..    the ratchet strap can
work, but it's hit or miss.. sometimes it just forces the bead in more..

I have 2 QC's for my air hose.. I put on a full flow tire inflator and have
a safety air gun on the other as I inject air into the valve stem, I also
shoot air from the air gun into the bead being sure to keep the air gun
from to close to the tire/bead/rim combo.. And there you have it..

I also use a tire safe wax to help lube the tire and rim and it also helps
to seat the bead at a lower pressure..  Its both steel and alumimun safe..
