Ugggghhhhhhh.

I just swapped out my old, hammered tire for a new rear. The damn thing was a pain in the keester! The old one was basically glued to the rim so the bead wouldn't let go, the inner tube wouldn't come out, I had a hard time getting the old tire completely off the rim, the new tire wouldn't go ON the rim, the inner tube again gave me problems, and then I fought the new tire for 30 minutes just trying to get the damn thing all buttoned up. I even had the opposite side "in the valley" as deep as it would go, and I still couldn't get the thing over. At least I was able to seat the bead on the first try.

Man I hate changing tires!!!!:upset:

Damn 757 that's perfect. I never really minded changing tires, but it does suck when you get an old, beat Michelin or Maxxis tire.

And that's why we have a machine at the shop. We cheat.

I just pay the guy at the dealership $15 to do it. Definely not worth the hassel to do it yourself.

For me, $15 represents more than 4 gallons of gasoline. I can ride 2-3 hours or probably 40 laps at Pala for that. I'm a cheap bastard. :-D
