Has anyone actually done this to a car tyre and do you need a compressor to pump it up after or will a track pump do?

Pictures Or It Doesn’t Happen

Done it with motorcycle tyres to seat the bead then used a track pump for the correct pressure.

Well I had a go with IPA but got nowhere, I’ll try butane next quiet day. What did you use flicker?
I’ll try to get pics if I can prop my phone up 🙂

I’d do a bit of research and use the right accelerant first time. Although people do it it largely held as a last resort – if you’re half way up a glacier with the tyre off the rim and its going dark then its a trick worth knowing – if your not its a pretty dangerous thing to do even if you’re using the right stuff to do it.

When I’m halfway up a glacier with a tyre off the rim, and its going dark, I’ll be glad I practised in the garden 🙂

People seem to use all sorts, ez start popular but who has a can of that lying around these days.

I take your point tho, ill start small.

@sweepy

An old can of brut deodorant, hairspray, pretty much anything really.

Once you’ve got the tyre on the rim push the tyre down and spray inside for a couple of seconds (don’t be shy with it) and then use the can like a flame thrower. Job done 😀

Oh yes, make sure you’ve already fired the new valve and the core is in it too.

Don’t worry it’ll be fine, eyebrows/fringes grow back……

Brut, hairspray, another two things I’ve not seen since the seventies 😀
I’ve got gt85 or lighter gas. I’ll ask the girls at work.
Fringe will grow back you say, not without a time machine it won’t.

Then you’re the ideal person for the task, a plan with no draw backs.

What could possibly go wrong 😀

Mmmmm, BBQ’d Stans 😀

strugling to see a point in this ….

“things im unlikely to have in my backpocket on a ride”

1. deoderant/ezi start/ipa etc.
2. lighter/matches etc

So what’s the science behind this? The resulting vacuum in the tyre pops the bead on the rim?

explosions innit.

Vacuun?
Rapidly expanding gases from the resultant explosion – think pop bottle on steroids…..

The explosion, of course.
