Now I remember why I don't change tyres anymore. I decided it was better to take the 21 inch Metzeler MX tyre off the spare wheel I obtained for the Old Gimmer's Hillclimber rather than just cutting the hub out. Don't know why really as it is going to be rebuilt anyway with a 17 or 18 inch rim. My trusty Heyco (from a BMW toolkit)tyre levers are a bit short, and adding extra leverage had them flexing in an alarming "slip and I'll break your jaw" kind of way. I was heading for three falls, but eventually managed to achieve a submission. I won't be putting the new tyre on the rebuilt wheel, whatever it is, that's for sure. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
