Hello all,
I'm planning to replace the tires on my TR6 (disc wheels)and have read
the article on the VTR site by a Mr. Bob Lang. He mentions that when
you get the tires mounted to ...< try to get them to use a MAG machine,
not the regular unit.... .... that if they try to mount the "normal"
way they might bend your rims.>
Can someone explain what he means by a MAG machine, and what is the
so-called "regular unit" and why would it bend the rims? I want to be
armed with the right info and be able to use the correct terminology
when I take the tires to be mounted, -- don't want to come off
looking like a dummy. I've seen my share of tires unmounted, mostly by
machines which use hydraulic assistance to break loose the bead, is
this the "regular unit"?
Thanks for any help.
