Wheel mounting help
Raising that heavy wheel the last few inches to mate with the axle can be hard if you don't have help. I had that problem recently and this is how I solved it.
 Depending on how I folded the cuff, I could get as much as 2" of elevation by pumping the bulb.

BRILLIANT!
 Somehow, though, I doubt that my RN wife would approve of me using her BP cuff for this purpose...

I've been mounting tires for years and have several tricks but was wondering if there was something different. Got a couple cuffs lying around, will give it a try next time. Thanks for posting.
