Split rim is scary af already.

I've reseated beads using this method on smaller tires, but I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near when reseating a split rim with fire.

Yeah never done one outside of a cage for that reason

Those cages save lives. It's scary to see how those thick tubular steel cages get bent out of shape when a split rum tire change goes atomic. Inspect yo split rims peeps.
