AHS 1,440 #1 Posted July 31, 2021 I HATE CALCIUM!!!! It was leaking into my rim, and I wanted to change the tube to just air. I have the brand new tube… it was gonna be simple… ya right! So a friend and me decided to take the tire off the rim, well I shoved a flat bar thru the rim. I decided the rim welded. I had CRC rust converter and it was painted by me all over the rim. Primer on the inside of the rim. Primer and paint on the outside. And then silicone on the rusty hole. Tire part; there was calcium all over the inside of the tire, and there was rust (rusty rim) inside the tire.. so I washed that out. All clean tire!! Now it’s ready for tire to be mounted to the rim!! @ebinmaine you and I were talking as I was dropping that tire off this morning, I have been busy! Did I mention that I don’t like calcium!!!!😀 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the early 90’s? When was beet juice and citrus introduced? INHO, the tire I took off there was at least 35 years old. The other tire, a BF Goodrich, was put on there in the 60’s!
