Im lazy, and change tyres quite a lot, 5-6 tines a year not including many punctures, so i just filed the safety bead away on about a 1/4 of the rim on both sides, marked rim up on the outside, i can break the bead easily now.
Never had a tire come off or a rim fail in 20,000 miles of abuse. Trail riding at 20psi, towing the trailer, touring. The rims seem very solid so i had no issues taking a file too it.
