I purchased a tire remover and mounter from Harbor Freight. I have not trie=
d it yet and I was wondering if anyone has used one on wire wheels. It look=
s like it could work if I put the wheel with the outside hub down on the un=
it. I will practice on an old wire wheel and tire before I try it on my chr=
omes. (I need to put tubes on the wheels as I am constantly losing air and =
over the years, I have had to replace many spokes) Is there any advise?

Great tips Rick and might I add, also make sure there are no decals on the=
 tubes. The tube should be free of anything stuck to it and also check on =
the inside of the tire as they sometimes put decals on the inside of these=
 also. Just run your hand around on the inside, you'll feel them easily if=
 the are present.=0A=0AAnd finally, make sure to put some powder inside th=
e tire. I have used talcom (sp?) powder inside my tires, generously I migh=
t add, others may recommend different powder, but it really helps. A bit m=
essy when you first inflate the tubes, but worth it. Good luck and one fin=
al tip, when you travel, carry an extra tube or two in your trunk, saved m=
e more than once.=0ASteven Kingsbury=0ABN1 #598=C2=A0=0A=0A=0AOn Sep 06, 2=
