Fellas, if you change your own tires and have had issues with getting the new tire on, pinching tubes, etc get the Baja No Pinch Tire tool. You're welcome.

Yep. Always have. Along with what others have said about setting the tires in the sun, a
good set of tire spoons and a stand, I have found that the tire mounting compounds, like
the jelly stuff you get in the big tubs, makes it REALLY easy. Much better than soapy water.

The following suggestions I read in MOTOCROSS ACTION, DIRT RIDER over 20 years ago. Use straight liquid dish soap on beads. Stays super slippery while mounting and dries kinda like glue and actually helps rim tire from slipping on rim. It's cheap and in most households already plus it washes off with water. Warm the tire in the sun or somehow. Throw the rim strip away or give it to somebody you don't like. Clean inner rim good and smooth any burrs. Duct tape over the spoke nipples works wonders. Each to their own but I hope this helps someone.

If you haven't used the Baja No Pinch, you will be amazed how well it works. Seriously works very well in conjunction with a bead buddy.

NO SCRATCHES ON RIMS!!!
Thank You! That thing looks awesome! Never saw it before, but it’ll be in my garage as soon as they’re back in stock!
