What happens here

After removing the old tire, use long pry bars (tire irons) to manually remove the tire from the rim. For tubeless tires, ensure the rim is clean and lubricated before mounting. Apply a good coat of tire mounting lubricant (or 'Marvel Mystery Oil' as used in the video) to both beads of the new tire and the rim flanges. This eases the mounting process and helps prevent damage to the tire beads. Use a large hammer or sledgehammer to seat the tire beads onto the rim. Finally, use an air cannon (a tank that releases a burst of air) to quickly inflate the tire and properly seat the beads, creating a seal.

Goal: Mount a new tubeless tire onto the rim.
