Sure, but what did the rim do to deserve that 🥲
Balzac7502 on
I tried to get the beads to move for 1 hour, trying different methods, including soaking it in water + dishwater soap, standing on it, pushing with my fingers as hard as I can, using a block of wood…. No luck. At some point I started to twist the tire but I could hear the fibers in the sidewall breaking apart, so I decided to go with the destructive method…
This was the stock tire that came in the bike, it has 4 metal wires, and they were super tight. I could cut the first 2 without too much problem with the help of a small screwdriver as a lever and cutting pliers. The last 2 were difficult as it was hard to get the screwdriver behind them. When cutting the last one it made a loud bang and the pressure was released.
I had to do this on both beads. Font tire is the same one, but not punctured. I will try to see if it I can get it to move because I don’t wanna get stranded somewhere because of a puncture.
