I think of it as "sliding" the lever between bead and rim edge, but you want to ensure metal-to-metal (if you are using metal tire levers) or plastic to metal contact with no rubber in between. Again, I have found that Spec Pry Babies, which are thin at the ends but have a tight little hook to grab the rim's edge, work quite well. I don't know if they are still made. -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW at [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
