Well, lets wait until someone does it on a Zuk tire, then we can all celebrate.

Yep....he had a clincher rim. On those the tire moves sideways and there is a notch in the rim and the tire bead that lock together when it is inflated. There may be a bit more clearance, our tires have to move down into the recess over the spokes to get enough room for mounting.....and that may not be enough room for both sidewalls at once.

I am going to give this a try - but I will probably just do one sidewall, then put the tube in and try the second sidewall. Even if you do have to get out a tire tool to help get it on.....the bag should provide assistance and help it to slide over the rim easier.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

If it works on the rear... holliluya!!!

Maybe, tenting it in the center, would allow for more slickyness in the process... I've got to try this,.. but, I currently have two near new tires...

Mounted the tires and tubes on the rim my self. Had help putting tires on bike but took only about hour n half.

It sure did look slick. The video is a lot more entertaining than useful, however. After a half hour of trying to make it work, I got out the soap cup and the tire irons and mounted the tires the same way I've done it for the last half century.
