Re: Split rim wheels

There is less danger in a split rim than you think if the wheel and ring are clean as in sandblasted or like new condition. Lube the tire and rim well with tire lube before inflating and inflate with the split flat on the ground using a screw on adapter to the tube, regulate the inflow of air remotely, if you need to check the bead use a large mirror. Borrow a mirror from a door inside the house.
Changing a split rim tire is easy if you have the right tools or some decent pry bars.
