Kevin,

You have to remember,"It's not real money, it's airplane money, which bears no resemblence to reality!"

Re: Tires and Tubes/Last mounting

The last time I did this, I used the yellow snotty stuff that electricians use to pull wire. It dries and leaves no residue. Add enough air to give tube some conformation. and assemble the rim and fasten the bolts. Any pinch points are minimized by the partially aired tube and the yellow goo lets the tube expand w/ no folds or pinch. Once the halves are made up deflate the tube when tightening bolts and then re-pressurize to specs. Just don't pick your nose w/ the yellow stuff on your hands!

Re: Tires and Tubes

If you're running bigger tires, DO NOT put powder in there. It's almost impossible to get rid of, and you have to run WAY too much air pressure to keep from spinning vavle stems when everything is all slicked up.
