sometimes advice is not valued because it is offered for free. i hope that you dont have any issues mounting your tires or inflating them. I hope your assistants provide the wisdom needed to complete the task. there are safe practices for doing them without a cage like chaining the assembly before airing up (so the ring doesn't become a missle) and using an air chuck that attaches to the valve stem with a long extension to keep your head and hands out of the mix. ive also seen them aired up ring side down with a remote fill. there are a lot of people (some tire 'experts') out there with missing hands, fingers and heads from tires that went boom. best of luck. the old tire man speaks from experience and i feel that tires should be given the same respect as electric, lightning & water. but i'm also a fan of darwinism and natural selection...
good luck and be safe.. mannyc
