Yesterday I put a new tire on my front rim.
For the life of me I cannot get the bead to set. It's pinched in on both sides.
I've hit it was a continuous blast of high-volume 75psi air.
I've lubed the bead with silicone.
I've beat on it.
I've sat on it.
I've bounced it like a basketball up and down my driveway.
Isn't there some old trick where you put lighter fluid on it and set it off?
How does that work? Where do you put the fluid? Inside the tire? Along the bead?
What else can I do?!
