How To: Installing 9:00-16 tires on CMP wheels

[Bob Carriere]

Just hate it when I get disconnected..... web seems to be acting strange and slow tonite..... may be the wires are toooo cold.

Pic 27 / 28/ 29.. Threaded rods are now going downin a criss cross pattern making sure the bead is being pushed onto the rim evenly. some of the snoth is visible being squeezed out...... it is recommended for use on flaps and tubes as well.
Pic 3- and 31... threaded rods are not fully screws down against the rim. The tire is now firmly in place at least two inches down or about mid point onthe bottom half of the rim. We used an impact pun but a wrench or ratchet would do just as well.... no great torque needs with the rods lubricated and the tire snoth.

In retrospect the pcuh blocks could have been made longer to puch down further but it becomes a bitch to remove and harder to insert at the start with increase height. The width of the 2 in. block seems to be a happy compromise.
