Tail Dolly Tire

The tail dolly tire is flat again. The last time this happened, it took me bloody forever to get the tire bead off the rim, and back on again, with bicycle tools. (The wheel is one piece and does not come apart.) Somebody else must have figured this out. Short of taking it to a tire store, who has a tool, tip or trick for how to do this right? Thanks for advice John Cochrane BB Timing.... I had my solid tail dolly tire come off while moving the glider down a very ratty runway at Mackay Idaho last Wednesday. I quickly borrowed a like tail dolly to get the glider positioned. The tire lost a chunk on the inner rim, but was still intact. I used a bucket, Dawn liquid dish, and water. Soaked the tire and rim, 2 large screwdrivers, a curb, and my foot to get the tire easily back on the rim.

Well, these nice soft solid-rubber tires have a bad habit of coming off the rim. In addition to two posts above, this happened to at least 3 Arcus owners at Uvalde, including me twice. First time I was a wimp and dropped it off at the tire store next to the airport. 2nd time I used two screwdrivers and some nasty language to frighten it back onto the rim. 2nd time it happened I was making a gentle turn towing out on a nice smooth taxiway. Probably I'll ditch this and get the old style tube/tire and foam-fill... Aaarrrgggg...... |

Dave, you could use contact cement or double stick tape to bond the rubber to the rim like cyclists do with sew ups.
