Kluhsman
(R.R. 1, Box 68A, Lockwood, MO 65682, 800-814-5745) has created
a new device to quickly mount and inflate tires to accurately
and rapidly measure stagger or to check for leaks. A flick
of the wrist removes a locking arm and top plate so the tire
can be mounted in less than two seconds. Then the tire can
be inflated on the Kluhsman device, which is adjustable for
wheel size, and tire diameter can be measured with a tape
or stagger gauge. The beauty of this device is that you don't
have to mount up all your tires on wheels to measure stagger,
which can save a race team time that they may not have in
a thrash. The device racer nets for around a grand and can
also be used to quickly inflate tires to check them for leaks.
