the best tool for tire streaching

Post by ga_goosh »

This tool is called a bead bazooka. a small local tire shop around the corner from my house has one of these and it works amazing on streaching tires. this tool works really well.

Yeah, here's a bead seater that was used to stretch some tires on my 13" Bassetts when I had the wagon.

They're $200 at Northern Tools.

I've used these before and they work great. I've also seen a BMX tire inner tube used.

I always try that and it fails and if it does seat the tube gets stuck in the bead sometimes most the time everytime.

Either and beer and friends that are dumber then you.

Bike tube.... took my 5 times the first time and ever since I'm still on the same one. Pretty easy after you figure out the no lube and slowly make sure the tube is coming out. Bead blaster is easiest though
