Here's how to put it back again:

Step 1: Put the tube in the tyre, making sure it is seated well. Inflating slightly helps.


Step 2: Put just one bead at a time into the rim well.


From the other side:


Step 3. Work the one bead all the way over the rim wall. This should be easy.


Step 4: Now work the remaining bead over the wall.


Start with the valve at 3 or 9 o'clock and work the bead over the wall past the valve.


If the tube was inflated slightly, fully deflate it now before proceeding.


Step 5: Now concentrate with both hands on just one end of the bead portion that is still outside the wall. All the while, make sure the bead is nicely in the center (deepest part) of the rim well to give most slack.






Using talcum powder will make the beads slippery for easier work. Mine were not powdered for this demo.
