    Tire mounting without using tools

    I was turned on to a way of mounting my tires onto the rims without tools, I was skeptical a but gave it a try,,,, WOW ,,,mounted my front tubeless 150/80/17 with only my hands and a little bit of bead lube. This would also work extremely well in preventing pinched tubes. Same technique could be used to remove tire form rim after bead is broken. Use zip ties around the tire (I used nine) to close the beads down until they meet each other. Now you can mount the tire while on the first side started being able to keep both beads in the deepest part of the rim giving lots of room to slide both beads completely on using no tools just bare hands. Keeping tools away from the rims and beads/tube is a win win situation.

    For 10 bucks I will tell you how I use a 2x4 and a shed to break the bead without ruining the rim.
