Title: Bead Buster
Post by: Steve3351 on 04 April 2020, 02:51:59 pm

ARF...!  Hi Foccers, I suppose u r all at home thinking "I WISH I COULD CHANGE MY TYRES",
but can't figure out how to get the old one off..?? :\

Well after much trying with levers etc. I hit on the easy way out...!   :lol :lol :lol
see pics.
Now I just have to actually get it off the rim...should be a doddle, right...?!

Would've thought a proper bead breaker was cheaper than a car?  :lol

Is it just me or does that disc look a bit worn?

I trust youve not been riding that tyre, and its split as youve tried to get it off

yes i was riding that tyre, I'm changing it because it was losing air.  8) Also yes the disc is worn, but working fine so no prob...
\my theory is that the pad adopts the grooves and undulations of the disc, increasing the surface area and stopping power :D

still waiting for new tyre (and set of tyre levers) to arrive...Ebay very slow with all the extra demand.... :'( :rollin :lol
