I thought you said that last year, and it made sense at the time.
You've got the half tube covering and sealing the rim and overlapping the tire.  That tube is between the groove in the rim and the hook on the bead. 


What keeps the tire from blowing off the rim is the fact that the bead won't expand enough when inflated to slide over the wheel/ghetto tube layer.  In fact, I remember you warning us not to inflate the tire too high or you could blow the tire off the rim because it's not hooked?
