<DIV dir=ltr>Steve, I like your setup. I will probably look at making something
like that if I need one that small. I have the cheapo one from the auto parts
store and it has its limitations.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as Slime goes, here in the Southwest where goatheads are a problem,
I won't run a bike tire without Slime in it. Bigger tires like garden tractors
also get a tube and the Slime treatment if there's a problem with leaking. I
found it really cuts my tire repair time down which is the point. A neighbor of
mine is a purist and doesn't like Slime but he spends more time fixing tires
and, in his own words, doesn't mind breaking tires down and fixing them. Yeah it
makes a mess when you go to clean up but a few seconds with a garden hose and
its gone. YMMV

<DIV dir=ltr>Brad, and Jim:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Picture attached. Mine attaches to the *inside* of the valve stem,
core removed. The Slime branded tool attaches to the *outside* and the
problem with that is the fact that the hole in the rim has to be large enough
for the tool to fit through. On the other hand, mine works even on
rims where the hole is just barely larger than the valve stem (example,
motorcycles). Admittedly, if you are installing tubes into formerly
tubeless setups, the hole in the rim is going to be larger, and the Slime tool
works fine. The first one I built was just like the Slime tool, using a
metal cap and attaching to the outside of the valve stem, and it was fine on
wheelbarrow and lawnmower wheels but I had to modify it when I first did a
motorcycle tube.</DIV>

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.<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>

takes me a day to mount 2 tires with fluid in them because of my

$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...<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>AT
