So i've exhausted every garage method I know of to get this tires' bead to seat. Contacted a few bike shops, no one will touch it. Took it to Urban X, they won't do it. Does anyone know of a shop or someone willing to help mount this tire?


130/70/12 on a 12x7 rim.

And yes it can be done, lots of people get this tire mounted.

Use propane, no one is going to do that for you.

It isn't a matter of won't do it, but that it requires some things that are not worth investing in as the one tire in 7 year that needs the tool doesn't justify the cost. The problem is that the type of tire it is, it is too stiff and low profile to stretch with a bead blaster or even fire. The pressure just leaves the gap and cannot create enough pressure to actually pull the stiff beads out far enough.

When you stop in I will go over a few details that you might look into...

That tire looks way too stiff from that pic to me. I think it's propane time and a big bead blaster for you and watch some youtube "DIY" or do at your own risk...


ps. I would trust whatever Bob says, he is the man!

Haha seriously!

Those Ruckuses (Ruckii?) can be really sick, but when you think of how much $$ some guys put into them, you can get into a reasonably priced crotch rocket, or something old timey and cool haha.
