isitafox Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Going down to radfest for the comp next sunday and I thought to myself what do I do if I get a puncture? I have a TT circle rear rim and getting the tyre on it originally was an absolute nightmare so if I get a puncture I'm dreading having to try and get the tube out especially without access to a kitchen draw full of teaspoons and the like. Does anyone else have the same rim and suffer the same problem? How do you overcome it?? And on another note, I'll probably stick a fresh grind on before I go but I'll need a new disc so what disc would you recommend, I was thinking of a diamond cutter like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 It's always easier to get tyres on/off single wall rims, so that's not too surprising in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
