   Very satisfied – tips on installation
   Works great. Very satisfied. It seemed to me to have the same “hardness” as when I pump up my tires to 65 and 70 pounds.INSTALLATION – There are three tricks to putting these on. Trick one – you will need tire levers that are about six inches long. 3 or 4 inches will not cut it when you get to the final section of bead. You will be applying alot of force. Trick two – The airless tube wants to “pop out” of the opposite end as you are working the bead around. IMPORTANT, each time you put a piece of bead in use a fourth lever wedged under the rim and push the opposite end of the tire back down onto the tire rim. Trick three – as you put the bead in, go back over it with another tool (made of plastic) to push the bead down further into the rim and put some weight into it. Do this EACH TIME you put a piece of bead into the rim. The reason is at the end the tire (because of the airless tube) is very stretched and you want to minimize this stretch on the outer tire. It took me only about 10 minutes taking my time the second time with no repeat motions necessary. It took me 90 minutes to figure all this out. The first bead of my tire when in almost by hand. It is the second bead with the airless tube in the tire that creates the work.Why did I buy these? This past week I was in a heat stroke situation (90 degrees and 100 percent humidity). I was dumping water on my hat and shirt to help (a army trick when conducting operations in heat). Then, I had a flat tire. The time to do even a 15 minute repair (assuming everything went well) would have been a catastrophe. I was five minutes into a 45 minute walk back after the flat (I chose the sure solution) when a ranger picked me up. I often mountain bike in remote areas and let’s say 15 miles out my tires fail. That’s a full day walk back. As a safety issue I want my tires to always be working. The tire that failed had a liner in it by the way (yes, I was frustrated). A tack on the trail went through everything.I tested these on a known route. I noticed no difference in my time. I arrived at my usual check point at the same time and returned at the same time. When I received the boxes in the mail, they were so light I thought they were empty (I am being serious). I did not weigh them but it can’t be any different than the weight of an inner tube or at least very similar. The tire felt as hard as when I pump up a regular inner tube.I would suggest the manufacturer offer to include THREE PADDLES six inches long of hard plastic (not metal, it scratches the rim) or at least if you buy two you get these free or at least offer to sell a set of three for an extra buck or two. The paddles or tire levers should be six inches long and at least 1/3 or ideally 1/2 inch wide and at the tip have a thickness no more than a large flat head screwdriver (at the end you need to be able to get it under the tire bead). These should be made out of plastic. I want the vendor to keep making and selling these because it has solved a very important problem for me – minimizing breakdowns in the back country. Plus, less weight no tool kit is needed now.
