Geonovast Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The video's gone. But if it's what I think it is, it doesn't work. Mythbusters proved it wrong and it makes sense why. Yes, you can re-seat the tire with this method, but it doesn't stay inflated. The gas compresses so much when it cools down that it goes right back to flat.

It's a little (??) dangerous, but it is a way of forcing a bead to re-seat if you lose a bead when wheeling at low pressures. If you actually have a flat (a puncture -- a hole in your tire that loses air) this won't do anything for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
