Getting Tyres on and off...

<< < (3/4) > >>

pickle:
and always put the tyre in around the Valve first and work away from there.........if they're OS tyres they normally just fall onto the rims  :-\  failing that........bin the fooking tyres and get other ones  ;)

zed4130:
i put the inner tube in the tire slightly pumped,i use a tire lever with a ali tube on it ,and then put loads of washing up liquid on the rim  :daumenhoch: slips on nice and snug  :daumenhoch:

pickle:
Yeah good tip with the tube pumped up slightly.....keeps it from getting snagged as much  :daumenhoch:

adeshere:
i remember BITD using my mothers spoons and then having to try and reshape them before he noticed they were missing  :LolLolLolLol:

Owen,

I know what you mean about some are tough. I have had trouble removing some old tyres from wheels I have bought, like kenda or old carlisle tyres. Fitting grippa's comp 3 skinwalls etc no bother. Actually thinking about it the ones I have trouble with seem to be the black walls!!! ???
