Dave Leonard In the olden days where I come from, they used the lighter fluid, gasoline, old formula WD-40, and a match to seat the beads on the old non clincher rim wheels on big trucks. The clincher rim wheel had a groove around near the edge, and once the tire and tube was installed the wheel assembly would get the rusty clincher pounded into the groove. The wheel would be inverted so the clincher was on the bottom. The fuel and match system would be employed to seat the beads and not pinch the new tube. Then the tire was inflated as normal. Once in a while the clincher would come off and the wheel would go straight up. Many farmers have lost fingers hands and worse doing clincher rims. They are outlawed now. Bud wheels were as bad. The outer rim had lugs like a camera lens. You had to assemble the rims and put a bar through the outer rim and turn it to lock it to the inner rim. These things would destroy a passing car when they came apart. We have come a long way baby.......... Lynn E. Hanover **************Start the year off right.
