Yeah, that will often work. When the rev had a flat out by Black Fox campground last August, we had a lot of assembled wisdom, and quite a few kickstands handy. I seem to recall we screwed around with one for a while without success. Then I applied my Motion Pro T6s to the task and had the bead broken in about 90 seconds. Then I went over to chat with the comely Rangerette while others fixed the tire. I relate this episode in all modesty.

yes, yes, yes, now I remember, Jud was protecting my virtue. I will admit, the modesty part, uh, I am a little vauge. all in all, it was 1 hour from discovery to recovery to include blowing two fuses; one each on two bikes. Note to all: check your electric pump at least at the beginning of the riding season. (shame face) I checked mine 5 years before, it worked and never gave it another thought. Some where in time, it developed a taste for 20a fuses. (The piston 'parked'/siezed; after disassembly and manually rotating the piston, all is better now. Note to self: remove your earplugs/helment before using electirc air pump so you can hear the first fuse blow. I said to the other rider, "Huh, my pump does not seem to be working. See if this works on your bike." "Nope. It just blew the fuse." Modest and virtuist comments followed. But we did have fun that day. smile. and being a good KiLeRista, I had two spare 20a fuses. revmaaatin.
