Changing tyres/tubes

[StuUngar]

Hi,

You should really only need the levers to start getting the tyres off. The rest taking your
time can be done by hand with a little patience working the beads into the central well.

There is an online video about changing a Marathon Plus, covers most things.

rgds, sreten.

Yep - this is the only video you will need. Best video I have seen for demonstrating how to fit tight tyres = any tyres!
I was drenched in sweat, kicking the cat and almost in tears after wrecking a new tube and almost an hour - then I saw this vid and it was all explained in the calmest and most soothing way possible.

15 minutes later and it popped on like magic and you won't know what all the fuss was about - lol!

I recommend giving the bike a good clean beforehand. Also remember that you do NOT need tools to refit the tyre - apart from toe straps or ties.
