Romeo-Alpha,
I agree with you completely that the BVM screws in the tires are a royal PITA. I have developed my own technique for getting the screws through that works for me everytime. I do as others do and heat a pin and push it through from the threaded side of the rim. This is where it takes a little patience and a steady hand. I use the tip of the screw against the tip of the needle to push it back through the hole in the tire. The screw follows the needle back along the same path of the hole it made when pushing it through the tire. I can do a tire in approx 15 minutes, but like I said it takes a little patience and a steady hand. Others have tried my method and not liked it but hey I just thought I would throw it out there as a suggestion.


Patrick.
