More info, the Atelier has two big ol' C-clamps with brazed on indenters. One is horizontal, the other, vertical. My test tire said it was 42mm wide, but it was a lying S.O.B., and Andy's real 42mm wide tires. I initial indent was perpendicular to the stay, which of course wasn't quite enough, so we switched to the other tool, which made all the difference
