Was watching a programme the other day about riding to timbuk-tu. There they use the side-stand to break the bead.
Requires 3 folk.
Folk 1 lines up sidestand on the bead.
Folk 2 & 3 who were both stopping the bike falling over now lift the bike so the weight is on the side0stand and so on the bead.
They had a GS1200 so lots of weight and bits to grab hold of the bike by. Prob a bit trickier of you've got a heavily plasticed lightweight bike.
Looked very simple, but guess they've done it a few times.
