Mooky? You're utter fekking RETARD. The butane when lit causes a minor explosion within the confines of the tyre (whoompmf) causing a burst of exhaust gasses which inflate the tyre, making it expand and trap the remaining gases as the tyre seals against the rim. MOOKY. If you know nothing, then SAY nothing.

How does it work?

Guest (301 days ago)

This is totally common. We run low tyre pressures to get a good rubber footprint. Tyres regularly roll off the rim, and this is how we sort it every time.

Guest: Silentbob (301 days ago)

Most tyres are tubeless

Guest: ******************** (301 days ago)

O.K. very impressive, but does it not give the inner tube a puncture?

Guest: Mooky (301 days ago)

... and by the way, did I even say anything about inflating?..no. Since when is inflating related to a vacuum??.. duh!!! (and yes ok, maybe I was wrong about the Vacuum putting the tire back on the rim, put it was a pretty educated guess so my shoe is is a UK 10 1/2, so I'm suggesting Mr Sweet Baby Jesus, that you go and measure your foot again

Guest: Mooky (301 days ago)

Oh well, guess that's me told then. Go ahead and vent your frustrations though, you gotta take it out on someone haven't you? water, ducks back, whatever....

Guest: Mooky (299 days ago)

I'm neither arrogant or stupid. I made a (BIG!) mistake and I hold my hands up. Come on guys take a few more cheap shots, my chin can take it and you obviously have frustrations that need to be released somehow... come on, gimme' all ya got. oh, my Mom says it's fine that you talk about her vaginal yeast too. she says it's an important part of this particular debate.

Guest (301 days ago)

MOOKY. Your idiocy is immense. Are you perchance a stupid American? Since when did a Vacuum inflate an object in atmospheric pressure? Sweet baby jesus... your IQ must be smaller than your shoe-size.

There is no innertube.....its a tubeless tyre.

Guest: pyromaniac (299 days ago)

hehehe FIRE!

Guest: Ultra7 (299 days ago)

It's a video of nothing important, you prats! So someone make a mistake; it is not so important that insults have to explode. Get a life!

Guest: Mooky (301 days ago)

It works by the flame burning up all the oxygen in the air creating a vacuum, "Pulling" the tire onto the rim. Get an empty glass milk bottle or whatever, throw in 3 or 4 lit matches and place a peeled boiled egg on top. see what happens.

Guest: Beast (298 days ago)

Yes there are typos in that post, i'm in a rush as i should be doing work!

Guest: humpty dumpty (299 days ago)

Jim Bob, isn't poultry throttling time at the primate correctional facility up there in Wasilla?

Guest: Mooky (298 days ago)

Yes mum, Marmite is made of yeast, the by product of beer making to be precise :-D

Guest (299 days ago)

Lol Mooky... Kudos :D

Guest (299 days ago)

Oooohhh. Blind Defence of ignorance and slamming the smart people are we? Ohhh Great. I want to play at being American too! Beast: Is Jade Goody your pin-up girl? Humpty: Don't listen to them - Them. Mooky clearly IS that stupid. George Bush was stupid yet arrogantly confident... I think we all agree it was a bad combination.

Guest (301 days ago)

Mooky has a website. mookytheclown(dot)co(dot)uk

Guest (301 days ago)

MOOKY.... I wasn't suggesting that you're stupid *because* you have small feet. I was suggesting that your IQ was equal to your shoe size which you say is 10.5 And that seems to fit my theory. I just showed this video to my 6-yearold, and *she* understood. Educated Guess? I think you're abusing the word "Educated" there. Go apply for work at McD's

Tom, "You're all stupid. The REAL mistake is the ' in it's." If something belongs to it then "its" with no apostrophe is correct. If you are abreviating it is, as Mooky was, then "it's" is appropriate.

Guest (299 days ago)

you're all stupid. the video is played backwards. tststs

Guest: Take that, varlet! (300 days ago)

If he's that stupid, then he can't help it and you should get off his back. If he's not that stupid, just arrogant like you, then... you should get off his back.

Guest: Humpty (300 days ago)

Albert E. Yes. We are slamming Mooky because he was a) stupid enough to think that the tyre was "pulled" onto the rim by vacuum. b) Stated it as Fact and c) Then had the audacity - when cornered by a seemingly smart guest - to call it a "pretty educated guess". d) missed a clear insult based around the old "shoe-sized IQ" theme and appeared to use this to suggest his big feet made him a being of higher intelligence.

Guest (300 days ago)

shut up moooooooooooooky!!!!!

Guest: handicapable (300 days ago)

arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, even if you win you're still handicapped.

Guest: Albert E (300 days ago)

ok so Mooky made a guess and was wrong. But being the internet, he gets viciously attacked for it probably by people who don't actually even get how it works in the first place. I say to those people: you get everything right don't you, you know everything, don't you?
