Cutting through the rim with a hacksaw is what's difficult, and the reason people think that the rim only method is alright. Bolt cutters will easily go through the rim/tyre though. Lo profile rims and tight clearance with a mini-D is what you want; get both the seat tube and rim in there leaving no space at all.
