Tire failure. Scenario: You are out in the wilderness ( fairly new tire, on a regular paved road) on a 75 mile bike ride, little traveled road, no stores, few bikers (if you did see a biker, they would not have an extra tire), you are out of cell phone service ( and you don't want to call you wife for a rescue ride anyhow) . In the middle of your ride, you run over a pot hole/sharp road edge (or something) causing part of the bead of the tire to separate from the edge of the tire. The more you ride and change/pop tubes the bead rips out more and more. You (and passing riders) are out of extra tubes. You try the "old , stick a dollar bill in the tire" trick, but the tubes are not held back enough and the tire "unseats" more and more, not wanting to stay on the rim. You have no duck tape.
How do you get back to home/civilization? What trick would you use? The old , stuff it with pine needles trick (even though there are no pine needles around). ? ideas? sorry the pic is out of focus, tire is turned inside out for the pic. I hope you get the idea.
