For 5 bucks, it isn’t worth spending a lot of time making one.

OK, will do Brad.  Jotted it on the calendar/task list, which is mandatory if I am going to actually do *anything* I say.

  If you ever get a chance you should take a picture of that. I’d like to see how you did it. I’ve got the bar type tool for pulling tubeless valve stems into a wheel or the thread repair/remover valve tool that I use to hold a tube from falling back in once inserted into the wheel. I can see where what you’ve made could be handy on those small little tires where not having the valve stem through the rim would make them easier to mount.



  Thanks

  Absolutely.  I built myself just such a tool and use it everywhere there's a tube being installed, including wheelbarrow and small trailer tires, motorcycle tires, etc.  Mine is based on an old valve core and a piece of bicycle brake cable.

    One key tool was the device to pull the tire tube valve through the hole.

    Here is a YouTube of mounting a tire on a rim.

    [James Peck] What tire tools do you use and can you advise as to where you got them.

    [Cecil Bearden] In my case, I mount my own tires and it takes me a day to mount 2 tires with fluid in them because of my disabilities.  However, If I had them mounted, it would be nearly $500, so I think I made a pretty good day's pay.  Due to the difficulty or expense of mounting tires, I will only buy new when replacing tires.   Do it once and forget it....   As I said before, stay away from SPEEDWAY tires...They do not fit.. I spent over $250 in tubes and lost over $200 in alcohol fluid due to these tires...
