Butane? I envisage disaster.........
Obviously as tittle states...
No one in my area has an elephant for beading stretched tyres and I know it can be done buy filling the tyre with something flamable and then lighting it to cause and explosion that instantly seats the bead of the tyre and then you just inflat it...
What I would like to know is what to use. I've tried a few things around the house that i thought would work but none of them BANG big enough to do the job.
I've been told of a few other ways but they either don't work or are just too much of a pain in the arse and still don't work...
Tryin to get 205 on a 10....
Please...
some one must know....
Butane? I envisage disaster.........
what profile is the 205?
flameable stuff usually works, but takes a few goes
use a brake cleaner or any liquid with a thin composite. things like rp7 do not usually hit hard enough i have found. i always lubricate the inner side of the wheel with tyre lube in order for it to slide better. good luck with it
You'll most probably need to suspend the wheel by the tyre either side and squish in a bike tube under the bottom bead/rim gap so it'll hold air
Even then, good luck.

I had many problems fitting 195 Adrenalines to my 9" watas as the side walls and tyre itself is so hard, no problems fitting nankangs though. No type of banging would puit them on, in regards to flame tricks. I then took them to my local tyre store that fits truck tyres. they should have a bead blaster. They did 1 for me, and couldnt do the other.
I then went to the bike shop and got hte small tube available. I put it in the space with less gap. In this case there was more gap at the front of the rim, so i pushed the tire to the front and there was a small gap at the back, i packed the tube in there only slightly so when it was inflated it grabbed the tyre and rim, pumped it up and it went on.
I did have some issues with the tube trick ie; tube getting caught, tube exploding.
Best case would be truck tyre shop. Always quote its for the track and they usually will do it for you.
Good luck Cleckleh.
what sort of rim is it.
easiest way i find without a blaster is.
fit the tyre, seat the rear bead (takes a bit of hard yakka).
remove wheel and tyre from tyre machine, get a larger tyre,
sit wheel and tyre in larger tyre with the seated bead facing the bottom tyre
put pressure on the centre of the rim forcing the tyre to stretch and pump it up at the same time.
takes a bit. i just purchised a bead blaster for myself the other day. worth while investment!
Brake cleaner seems to be ftw. Have a look on youtube to get an idea on how to do it.
marvis.
Yeah.....
I watched the youtube vids...
Judging from them either brake cleaner or aero start seems to be the go....
Thanx guys...
pretty much anything thing will work you just have to get it in the right spot, lynx worked on mine
