I noticed there was not a tube in the tire but what appeared to be rubber balls ? what are those ? looks like he didnt havre to worrie about pinching a tube ! Those are called Tire Balls. The original name was TB29 which stood for 29 tennis balls. The trick to not pinching tubes is using talcum powder on the tube, slightly inflating it and not pulling the tire iron past 90 degrees. | |

This guy helped me out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw0B2gIwbBg&feature=relatededit: and i soon realized i won't be buying colored rims anytime soon; i scratch the heck out of the poor buggers.  | |
