I've decided I need more tools. A clamp-on air chuck (to inflate w/o the valve stem) to seat the bead. I like the idea of the strap clamp. I also need to use a better bead lubricant. Been using slightly soapy water, need to use soapier water--like 50/50 dish soap/water. They just opened a Harbor Freight about 2 miles from my office, so it's easy to stop by there. I'm going to pick up the mini-tire changer. I watched some you-tube videos and it seems like the ticket. I was thinking I should get the larger tire changer, it would work for larger tires, too. But I am concerned that the larger changer won't work for front tires on the cubs. For $50 I guess you can't lose.
