|
|
Greetings, Gang,
My next question has to do with replacing my Carlisle tires. I have Matco split-rim wheels. Do I have to split the rim to replace the tires, (seems like a lot of work--removing the disk brake caliper and rotor, etc.) or can I pry the bead of the tire over the rim, like you would with a bike or car?
I guess I don't know if the split rim has a diameter that will accomodate stretching the tire bead to get it off.
Anyone have experience with this?
Dave

You better split the wheels.It 's not as much trouble as you might think.

Got it.
Thanks, guys.
As a matter of fact, since I posted this, I reached Matco (Andy Green). He was very helpful and pointed me to the service manual download from their website. They'd been closed yesterday due to the holiday.
Link to manual:
