Mat Smith! Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) Undo the bolts at each side, undo the chain tensioner, then take the chain off the rear cog and put it arround the chainstay, then pull the wheel out... Done? Not easy to explain really but its not rocket science :shifty: Mat Edited November 12, 2005 by mattyboy_69_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) Well, I have a fair bit of trouble getting my CC off my rim, It's fairly beef, let down the tire, and shove some skrewdrivers in there, and fold the tire around the rim, then pull it off or whatever. Dunno lol :shifty: Edit: the same as above, I just didn't read it (Y) Mat Edited November 12, 2005 by mattyboy_69_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly joe Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Guess i'm sort of lucky because i can normally remove my 20/19" onza 'shitty finger' tyre using my thumbs, hurts a bit but it can be done. :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseface Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 same with me too. why are the tyres such bas***ds to get off? steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 same with me too. why are the tyres such bas***ds to get off? steve. Because they are so fat, the front's are so easy to take off but the rear are like 2.5 - 2.7 with the new Monty's, I dont even want to try get that tire off! :shifty: Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 same with me too. why are the tyres such bas***ds to get off? steve. because there desighed to be strong and tough so you don't brake your rim or get a puncture! so they a hard to get off because they are stiff! ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) so he used the end that you stick in your food ;) , the stupid twat, and poped his tyre really bad :P ollie Sorry but LMAO! :shifty: (Y) That made me laugh so much fair play to him :D Edited November 12, 2005 by PaRtZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Get one screwdriver in, than another as close as you can get it to the first one. Then do that with 5 screwdrivers. :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 same with me too. why are the tyres such bas***ds to get off? steve. im glad the tyres are, because i had a puncture and when i squezzed the tyre it went down :P anyway, use metal tye levers, its what i use. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
