Tire question
Anyone have any suggestions or tips on how to remove a clincher style tire from a wood spoke wheel 1913 Roadster.?? Installing new tires on rear 30x3/1/2 wheels

Re: Tire question
Bob, I would check some of the youTube offerings on the subject. I was just watching several videos for 21" split rims with some good Ideas.
I do know keeping that darn tube valve stem centered is a witch, some of these guys go nuts with the baby powder |

Re: Tire question
You will need one of the lever type bead breakers or as I do large C clamp to break the bead loose. Then it just a matter of prying the tire off the rim. If the tubes that are in the tires now are still good, try and save them. If not, cut the tire off. Use real tire spoons not the Ford supplied ones. 2 will work but 3 can be better.

I think with metal stems so it is locked in place would be a heck of a lot easier, the rubber stems just slide out as the rim is closed up. Then you try an clock the stem so it rocks into place when you close it up and then goes the other way!!! LOL

Re: Tire question
You took the whole rear wood wheel (or front for that matter) to a tire store? It's a 1913 which would have nondemountable rim/wheels.

I take the wheel off and take it in, rear TT wheels, wood spoke wheels for both clinchers and split rims, and wire wheels. Bunny has done them all for me and now it looks like Warren is taking over (I think Warren is the owner). |

Re: Tire question
Well i think the 3 ways of doing it are:-
Pop and see us at Longstone Tyres, we provide a fitting service fopr pre war cars. Come and see us in Bawtry (near where the Pilgrim Fathers came from) and we will sort it out for you. We take our vintage tyre fitting service to VSCC race meetings around England. Or if all that is trick try these films i have made at the bottom of our Beaded edge web page. https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/vin...ran-tyres.html after watching those films it should be easy. |

Re: Tire question
I only had one T with non demountable rims and that was 40 years ago. I remember putting new tires on just once and the best advice I got was to park the car in the sunlight to warm the tires and use 3 spoons (new), like mentioned above. Not an easy job, but they came off better than expected and the new ones going on were simple when warmed.

Re: Tire question
With clincher tires it is always easier to put on both beads at the same time.
