Looks awesome!!! When I mounted my STT’s I had the same problem keeping the bead on as I was going around rim. So I used big washers to hold the bead down as I worked my way around. Just hand tight and worked great. View attachment 297257

Watch Eddies video with Jet Li getting beadlocks, he used clamps to compress the tire - brilliant!!

I actually just finished mounting all of mine with STT pros, I did use Eddies clamp idea and it worked out but I messed up on my first two and the screwdriver slipped and left a small gouge in the wheel :sigh: hopefully it's not bad enough it will cause a leak. Did you have any issues with some of the nut inserts threading down with the Allen? it only happened on 2 of them with mine.

I had several inserts on all wheels that threaded down, used a drop of red Loctite to hold them in proper position.
