Inner tubes needed??

Share this page

And every time that tire comes off the wheel to replace the tube or whatever, you need to rebalance the wheel, best done on the car. Keoke probably keeps all the necessary equipment for balancing where his spare tire should have been. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

Naw "D" he ain't got a unique point. The bead of the tire is already broken if the tire is flat. Leaving the wheel on the car serves as a holding fixture while you prise one side of the tire off and remove the tube. You can also check the tire with your hand for the foreign object if it is not visible from the out side. Repair the Tube reinstall, hook up your little DC powered tire pump and you are ready to go. Have done it this way on the side of the road many times. Getting to the spare can be more trouble when traveling with a loaded car than fixing the flat.--Keoke

[/ QUOTE ] keoke, guess ive been kucky enough not to have a tires bead ever brake from the wheel, your correct about getting to the spare, but jacking up the car-removing the tire-prising the tire-repair/replace innertube-checking the inside of the tire for foreign objects with your "hand" now thats a no-no, and doing all this on the side of the road? ah me thinks me likes my method just a little bit more, doing it your way is like one making his own wrenches. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yep Shorn, But I mark the location of the tire on the rim before opening it to remove the tube. Consequently when you reassemble it is just like it be before. The car's support tools are carried in a small travel bag mounted onna boot luggage rack!-- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif-Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cowboy.gif

OH Shorn !! wheel does not come off the car and neither does the tire come off the rim. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif
