New school are a bit harder to do, tyre levers are req, to get the tyre off, but you can get them back on just using your hands. I`m surprised old school tyres stay on the rim at all they`re so loose  :crazy2:

mike canning uses a stone to take off and put tyres back on....not a special stone...any random stone will do...i have seen him do it so i know its true

ask habbishaw...he handed the random stone to him.

hes like a f'king caveman!!!!

and bill there is no way i could get maxxis mtreads on my wheels without the help of about 15 of shelly best spoons and three proper tyre levers!!

was putting a cheapo tyre vee rubber on a rider the other day and the wire snapped. Everytime i blew it up it shot off the rim and had the tube bulging like fook. the guy on the market changed it no probs to my suprise. not bad to skid bald for 6 euro's a tyre. there is no way i is skidding my comp 3's to bits. long live disposable tyres :smitten:
