Inertia
I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
Hi I know this should be an easy thing but Ive had issues with this on this bike. I was greeted upon getting up this morning with a semi flat tyre, my heart sank as changing tyres has been an issue for me. Got it done but not without a casualty, one snapped plastic tyre lever.
Ive been struggling with my tyres for a while and this has finally prodded me to sort it properly. They are INCREDIBLY difficult to get off, ie hammer time.
To replace the tyres that came with the bike I basically copied the size of the previous ones.
The current tyre is a Schwalbe Land Cruiser MTB Tyre (Black 26 x 1.90/2.00).
The rims are Specialized/Alex HRD 26" double wall disc rims. It actually says on them HRD, Double Wall, 559x22, 6061-T6, 26, if that helps at all.
I actually really like the Schwalbe land cruiser but the only other size I can find is 26 x 1.75 which I assume is smaller than the tyre I have.
Should I be struggling so much to remove them? Just getting the first tyre lever in snapped a plastic one this morning as a levered it out.
Thanks
