Default More years of experience talk

Hi Bob

It is amazing what you will find talking to some of these guys with more years of experience.

But one of the big problems I've always had with really cold tires is even getting them to open up enough to get the inner tube and flap in to lay smooth. The guys with the tools of course have nice handy tools for spreading the beads apart.

I guess the only way to find out if cold or hot is the best way is for you to do one when it is well below Zero F and then one when it is a warm 95 F in the shade and see which is quicker.

I've heard this gas trick before but I'm afraid of what the modern gas does to rubber. Wonder if they are actually using something like Colman Fuel or white gas?

Cheers Phil
