Jez Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Try some motor bike tyre levers Or getting a crosser rear tyre off when it has a puncture!Bent a motor bike tyre lever I dont understand how it bent! lolI seem to remember El Gatos on Sun Rhyno Lites being an absolute mofo to get off. In fact I think anything on the Rhynos was a bit of a bugger...but then I got a pair of Factory DHs on D521s and rarely ever needed tyre levers after that. Man that was a long time ago. I can get the Factory XCs off my work bike pretty easy without levers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I always thought my Creepy Crawler on a standard Onza rim was hard to get off...Until I tried getting an Onza Luna off an Onza rim Was seriously hard, used a motorbike tyre lever, and dented the rim!Thought I might say that here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired Dave Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 When I see it done on a fully built wheel I'll be impressed Bah... will do it next time I build a wheel then! It was actually harder to get it off without the wheel built - the extra flex means you can't push as hard...Edit: Oops, on Dave's account again...
