Glad you got back ok - must have been frustrating at the time

You come across these?

A couple of very bike-experienced friends find them good for getting the last tight 10cm of the tyre bead to seat without nipping the tube. Also, a little air pressure in the tube, just a bit, might avoid the tube being nipped as the tyre edge seats itself
