  • Be careful

    while trying to re-seat my tire on the rim after it lost the bead, i had the tire pop outside of the rim, breaking my ulna (forearm) bone in half. had my head been closer to the tire, it could have killed me.

    Wow, sorry to hear Greg, speedy recovery.
    Hope it wasn't your shooting arm.

    A little tip for others, stand tire with seating bead/s away from you. I generally stand tire with tread facing me holding from the top with my head turned. Do not exceed 35psi.

    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.

        Thanks Guys. "Unfortunately Jim, it was the shooting arm, so my season was cut short. Did manage to get 4 in the freezer, including my personal best bowkill W/T buck in velvet, so I consider myself blessed.

          Wow, ouch, I'm glad it wasn't any worse for you. Gives me something to think about since I just ordered tires. I will be being much more cautious.
