  • Stretching tires with fire

    So I did one fine, but I went to do the other, and the tire went to one side. It's seated properly on the outside edge, but leaves alot on the inside. What should I do?

            Bicycle tubes dont hold air well cause of the location of the valve I've found.

              Maybe take it to a shop that's done it before?

                Try a ratcheting tie strap around the center of the tire tread... tighten that fucker down then hit it with air -works like a charm -no burnt eyebrows
