Busy times these days So I saw an offer from Purplepackage to change tires. Beats me setting up the HF tire changer and all the other To Do's I have. So I'll sub it out.
Dropped off 6 rims to Purplepackage to get my tires put on, Gave him tubes and new tires
Price was 40$ for 4 wheels or a liter of Frontier whisky Buleit rye, no tire balancing. Cool I'll get him 2 of those Buelit rye's
Drop them of at his garage, I wound up drop shiping 2 tire tubes to him since I forgot my spoked street tires take them ( Amazon only delivered one though, guess he re used one.)
I pick up this past Thursday so I can ride on Fri and Sat. I'm in a rush I throw them in the truck. Head home, then take them out later.
ALL 4 of the Dirt rims have bubbles/ bumps at them rim lock. location. Not tiny ones ... see pic
In a rush so I ask some buddies what to do. I wound up letting the air out, lubing the bead , loosen/push on the rim lock while pushing on the bead.
Nothing after 10 min.
I take an tire iron and the bead is BEHIND the rim lock . Its tire rim, rim lock then bead.
Not the correct order. at all. Its like that on all the dirt rims and at all rim locks
Welp there goes my wkdn of riding. and the 2 bottles of whiskey and my time to drop it off and pick up.

What do I do now?
I'm not taking it back to Purplepackage to make it right. I"m going to take all the tires off my self, check the bead. Check the tubes as well. Even reinstall the street rims probably, check the tubes were replaced.
Then reinstall. I need to doublecheck everything. If anything is off, like a torn bead. I'll be even more fuming, I wont have time till Fri... and probably another wknd of no riding.
What do you guys think? take away from this?
If I'm wrong.... tell me..... If I'm overreacting... tell me.
I doubt I am, I doublechecked with a couple people but I'll eat crow when I have to. I'm not one to call out someone.
But here I am
If anyone wants to use him for tire changing. Good luck
