I have to ask - why do you need to take them out when you haven't got a puncture?The problem I have is that I can't get the wider 28mm tyres out of the 531c Road bike frame without letting the air out of the tyres, even with the QR on the brake released...........
To clean them or the mudguards (under side)?why do you need to take them out when you haven't got a puncture?
You do most of those things at home, where it's easy to deflate and reinflate the tyres. And whenever I've needed to clean under the mudguards when I'm out on the road, I've always had something pointy in my bag which is adequate for the task and have not needed to remove the wheel.To clean them or the mudguards (under side)?
To service the bearings?
To change the cassette?
My solution to this is, after a puncture and repair (or one of the above circumstances), is to reinstall the wheel before inflating the tyre. (NB: Just be sure after a bit of pressure that the bead is sitting in the right place, all the way round, both sides.)
