One tight tire!
I recently had to replace a tire on an old(Suntour freewheel)700c
wheel.I got the old one off OK but I could get the new one on for the life of me.So I took it into a shop and the guy manaaged to install it with a great deal of difficulty.It was only one day until I had another flat and I couldn't get the darn tire off.Are there any tricks for getting a tight fit on?What could be causing this?I know the tire should be pinched to give it more slack but that was inadequate in this case.Thanks. |

It took a great deal of brute force to put it all together. I cannot even imagine patching a tube at the road side. Hopefully the tire seem to be pretty bombproof. Cheers, Tomek Li |

That sounds like the winning ticket.
