ABSTRACT:
A seating tool for facilitating the seating of a tubeless tire on a rim. The seating tool includes a plurality N of relatively inflexible arcuate segments each having a head end, a tail end, and a curved inner surface, N being equal to three or more. The arcuate segments are positioned in a head-to-tail configuration to form a closed approximately circular hoop in which the head end of each segment is in overlapping sliding relationship to the tail end of the adjacent segment. The seating tool also includes a plurality N of threaded tightening mechanisms which are connected to the hoop in the vicinity of respective regions of overlap to vary the arcuate lengths of such regions and thereby apply a symmetrically distributed compression force to a tire positioned within the hoop.
