Mike_M Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Clingfilm?What did you do.........wrap the lip in it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 its kind of like the bike inner tube method, scrunch the cling into a long sausage ish shape and wedge it in the gap between tire and wheel so that it seals all the way round, make sure there is plenty of lube on the rim and then start putting air in the tire. As the tire inflates ensure the cling seals the gap and that no air is escaping.After a bit of prodding the film into place the cling will slide up towards the bead along with the tire. Then POP! and the job is done! All you do then is let the air back out of the tire so that the remaining cling can be peeled away before re-inflating!
