Split Rims nightmare
Despite the many videos I have watched on the mounting of tires onto 21 split rims, I have had no success. I do have two three legged rim devices, have tried one, then the other, then both but cannot bring the rim ends together. In addition, when somewhat close, I've tried prying with a screwdriver, again, no good. So far, I have ruined two rims by overstretching them in my attempts. Would someone out there who has had success please advise me? There has to be an easier way!! Thank you all!
