December 2, 200718 yr Hello TC people can you help? I've done a search and I can't find the dimensions I need ?I canna seat my rear tyre back on the rim using the ratchet tie down method --that used to do the trick--( lost the ''touch''). What size is the bicycle inner tube that I could use instead ?? I know Steve Saunders gives the dimensions in his video but,typically, I can't find that either!! I'm off to search my video collection again.....Cheers ..Wayne Since I carry my TY350 around with my Pro I like to carry an extra 4.00X18 tube for it and store it in my spare 4.00X18 tubeless tire for the Pro. I inflate the tube enough to spread out the bead on the spare tubeless tire so when I need to mount the tubeless, it's taken a set with the bead spread well out so just a little soapy water pops it right on.

December 7, 200718 yr Gee Jon, I do the same but I thought it was the Warm Beer holder,,,,, just prior to going in the Cooler Hi Alan! Actually, a bunch of small beer kegs stuffed in the tire works well also. You may not get the tire to seat, but after emptying the kegs, you don't care...... I made a, just for mounting tubeless Trials tires, valve stem attachment for my compressed air line that really pumps a bunch of air quickly into the tire. That, coupled with the tube trick has made mounting the tubeless tires a tolerable task. After thousands of tire changes (including the dreaded Barum and Trelleborgs) it's still one of my least favorite things to do with a motorcycle. Jon
