Desert Rat, the link you gave me is just a video from Motorcycle Superstore on how to change a dirtbike tire using Motion Pro spoons. The ones I mentioned are like those, but cheaper. I don't know which 3 pack you're talking about. I might have seen it. I was looking for the wide, round spoon shaped ones that aren't supposed to pinch the tube.
Is this what you're talking about?
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/44563/i/bikemaster-tire-iron-3-pc-setJustin, you were suggesting that I patch the tire
if it's ideal and have the tire professionally mounted no matter what? I think I am understanding better now.
As much as I've already fought with that tire, depending on how quickly and easily I can get a good tube and hire it to be mounted compared to how quickly and easily I can get the tools and do it myself, I'm not sure if it's worth paying someone to do it. I had the price quoted to me before, and I think one place wanted $50 to have an Internet tire installed. I don't know what they want just for simply mounting the tire on the prepared rim. I'll have to ask. Still, it means I am defeated. All that fighting just to lose? As much as we've already fought with it, it might not take long for me to get it done. Besides, I've got
both of my Dad's tires sitting in the truck, waiting to be installed. Albeit, they are for cast rims, which means they're tubeless. They might be a little easier. I'll probably need rim protectors, though, since they're alloy. (I just thought of it.)
