If that idea bothers you, 2 pieces of 2X4, a chunk of 4X4 or 2 short pieces of 2X4 stuck together & a piece of rope to tie the 2X's together makes a quick, easy bead breaker. Lay the wheel on one 2X, run a loop of rope around the end poking out, lay the chunk on the tire & , stand the other 2X on edge, run it thru the rope loop, adjusted so the boards start crushing down on the chunk laying on the tire so that it doesnt drive it into the rim, but down on the tire. Everything is still usable as boards & rope, except for the little block, so it really costs about nothing. The "Ride it on flats" idea is something Id try, next time. What could be easier? But I rode a flat rear for a ways & it didnt come off the rim, but it was a pretty new tire. Maybe with some wear it would work out. IDK if Id drop the thing or not, but I can see this being an easy something to try.
