So you cut a sidewall off. You've still got two sidewalls on the rim. What's changed? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

You've broken the bead, you've already levered one sidewall off the rim with tyre levers- the last hard bit is getting the other side wall off because it pinches on the rim.
In Arcane's last thread that I read today (the one where he sadly became disillusioned of the difficulty and his lack of setup I must admit that made me chuckle hard) he posted a vid of this guy:

The bit at 2:45 where he's about to get the second side wall off the rim you can cut off and it slides off with no lever and no protector because there's nothing to pinch against the rim
In fact after you break the bead just cutting the sidewalls off with the multitool with no use of tire levers and you should be done no?
Like pompous said there's no risk to damaging rim because that hook thing hooks up and the ripping motion of the hook is upwards directed all the way around away from the rim |

Hmm, maybe. The inner ring of the sidewall isn't magically enlarged though, and it's still got to come over the rim. I'm willing to give it a try next time. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Old Thread Alert!
