PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE website. I always struggle at home trying to get a seal using straps and ropes etc. Has anybody used this tool? I have read the "How to" guide but it doesnt seem too clear. Does the kit come with two sealing rubbers for both sides of the tyre?

Any info appraciated as I dont want to waste my money on a useless tool.

semi inflated pushbike innertube does the same job :hat:

Yes, I found that out from the mechanics at bvm. And a bike inner tube is only a third of the price....bonus!!.

you got it

Ok but what I dont get is how does it seal both sides? The "how to" guide only shows one side being done. Surely both sides need to be sealed etc so that the tyre actually inflates and pops on the rim? Am I going mad!!!!!!

:hat:

No you

I think it's one of the most useful things I've bought. I paid an arma nd a leg for mine when they weren't available over here. Shipped from Spain about

Buy it you will not be disappointed, forget the innertube.

No Dabster i am not the lad who uses molegrips or anything else that shouldnt be used.But for your informatin i have used a bike innertube many times to refit tyres with good results As i have been rideing trials for over 20 years and my son has been rideing for 5 years including nationals so i have changed a few tyres in my time .

You're a smooth one, Nige.

I have not had great luck with the bicycle innertube. It seats the tire, but I've pinched and torn them several times.

Well for the sake of

never had to use them

One tip, pop and old inner tube in the tyre and inflate it before you put the tyre on.....leave it overnight in a warm room and it will go on easy.

Friggin tyre beaders....bloody nancy boys all of ya

Ditto with Marky, works every time. Take the valve core out also, air gets in quicker.

Dunlop used to supply cardboard that keeps the beads apart, this also worked well.
