Whoo hooooooooo
I was moving several large boulders for my neighbor. I had a very large one in my front bucket, such that the front right tire (which was a bit low on air for a rock THAT big) was sort of pancaked… no biggie, until I turned wheel against a fallen tree and it simply pushed the tire off the bead /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
For those who don’t want to wear hearing protection so you can hear the noises of your machine…I DID hear a faint, yet distinct “ssssssssss”, such that it made me stop & listen. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif When I stopped, I didn’t hear it, so continued… “ssssssssssssssssssss” /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I stopped…it stopped. Baffled, I continued “sssssssssssssss”. Ok… too much coincidence /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Looked around as I was backing out and noticed my pancake and saw my naked rim. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
Called my neighbor, got uncles truck, loaded up 2 air compressors in it (no electricity so I wanted backup volume) got the ratcheting strap (thank you very much TBN /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif) and wala… fixed my first unbeaded tire myself in about 30 minutes after wrestling the tire off the machine. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Brand new tire yet I’ve had issues of it losing some air over time. NOW I know why. Not sure if I can explain this, but the stem that goes into the rim has a removable core. And by removable core, I do NOT mean the “core” like you are thinking of. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
The core you are thinking of is inside the core I am speaking of. The entire top half of the stem simply unscrews so the core that YOU are thinking of and which is contained in the core I am speaking of, is easily removed, along with the core I am speaking of.
Well, the core you are thinking of is leaking inside the core I am speaking of. So I’m going to remove the core I am speaking of, containing the core you are thinking of to the store and see if they have a replacement for the core you are thinking of, which of course, goes inside the core I am speaking of. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif (dizzy) /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif (dizzy) /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Without having measured, the core you are thinking of is like 1/16” wide, whereas the core I am speaking of is like 1/4" or perhaps 3/8” wide.
If I’m able to replace the core you are thinking of inside the core I am speaking of, I think I will take the wife out to dinner and treat her. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
There will be a test later on which core was which.
