Some people are so ignorant .Just watching something on the net. An interviewer asked 2 girls one from America and 1 from Canada how manu countries are in Europe. The America girl said Europe is one country. The Canadian girl said she lives in Europe. When asked where she replied Vancouver
Yes, I'm sure you're correct Mo. If I go back to tubes one criteria will be the wheels are not tubeless ready...........................I suspect this will be extremely difficult to find.
I saw a TV thingy a while ago where they had a map of the world with all the countries marked but not labelled - they were stopping people on US streets and asking them to name as many countries as they couldJust watching something on the net.

Yep, the three of us yesterday can roll a tyre on with great panache and admiring gasps from the less experienced around us!
Would highly recommend Spa Cycles. They will build them pretty much to your choice. The ones on my Sabbath are lovely.
Wasn't so much walking the dog in the rain I minded, but trying to get them clean and dry when you got home. Been dogless for about 4 years now and, as much as I love them, not sure I will ever have another. Maybe when I get too decrepit for cycling, I'll see.
My technique is to get around the first foot of the tyre seated as deep into the rim as possible and I then press the inside on my forearm on the bit I've done while working the next section in and continue like that to the last bit when I usually sort of roll the tyre over the rim with the heel of my hand.Yep, the three of us yesterday can roll a tyre on with great panache and admiring gasps from the less experienced around us!

On the subject of Maps, when I was at our Daughters yesterday I noticed that she had a large map of the world on her kitchen wall. It was a " Peters Map " which shows the true land areas of the continents and countries relative to each other. This has the effect of making parts of the map appear distorted at some latitudes.
Allegedly illegal surely as the Home Office have form. Not the thread for arguments really.
Fitting a Marathon Plus tyre to a Brommie wheel is often quoted as being a bit of a nightmare. I watched the lady from Brilliant Bikes ( Hannah?) demonstrating how to do it and the technique is similar to yours. I've since practiced a couple of times with my spare front wheel and M+ tyre so I'm prepared should I need to do it when out on the road.My technique is to get around the first foot of the tyre seated as deep into the rim as possible and I then press the inside on my forearm on the bit I've done while working the next section in and continue like that to the last bit when I usually sort of roll the tyre over the rim with the heel of my hand.
Before son no2 got married we had a world map on the wall to keep track of his wanderings. All to do with work right enough so not a gap year or anything like that. Mainly marine installations and fish farms.
