    I had to demount and mount a couple 24.5's in my late teens as part of my apprenticeship training and thankfully that was the one and only time I've had to do it. I don't even like doing ATV or automotive tires with a tire machine.

    Just be happy you all never had to deal with split rims, the pucker factor was real!

    Always loved that song. Mostly when I was still imbibing, but it still sounds good and brings back memories....some good, some bad. :)

    Shop coworkers always wondered why any time i worked with splits, it always went in the cage.
    Then one day, they figured it out. The young buck had to go take a shower and change clothes. Fortunately no injuries.
    Not sure what actually happened, suspect he got the tube pinched.

    I just watched a video on those Firestone “widowmakers”.

    There isn’t much overlap holding that outer section on with 100+ psi of air pushing against it. :eek:

    Then you have this guy who used a backhoe and piece of 8X with the wheel flat on the ground.

    Not sure if one would even want to trust those cages either.
