I read about this trick after my wheels were assembled, so I can't tell you how well it works - take some thin cardboard or stiff paper and cut a long strip. Put it around the wheel hub and tape the ends together. Now when you slide the halves together, the cardboard should act as a barrier between the tube and the wheel, preventing it from being pinched. -- Tim Coldenhoff #90338 - Finishing! http://rv9a.deru.com ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:01:29 PM PST US From: "Tod Watkins" Subject: RE: RV9-List: Re:RV 9A front wheel --> RV9-List message posted by: "Tod Watkins" Plenty of corn starch powder or talcom powder on the tube and on the wheel inner surface works well with a half inflated tire the tube will tend to slip up over the wheel seam rather then sticking and getting caught and pinched but go slow it can be done. the mains are much easier. but use the powder in them also for ease of assembly. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv9-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Neilekins@aol.com Subject: RV9-List: Re:RV 9A front wheel --> RV9-List message posted by: Neilekins@aol.com Is there a trick to putting together the front wheel with out pinching the tube... ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 11:27:53 PM PST US From: Richard Scott Oops!
