Onza Kieron Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Mine is the same on Tryall rim, it's because all trials specific rims are larger so flatter tyres can be used without loosing your tyre. Ronnie's will be the same I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 My maxxis minion dual ply 2.35 is a doddle to get off a ronnie rim, i use plastic tyre levers for it that came in a halfords puncture repair kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanie-b Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 how have you people got problems with them???? mine are fine... It's 'cos your god porter I find smearing a bit of fairly liquid or something like that on your finger, and just rubbing it around the beading helps it pop off a little easier. Then when your putting it back in, wipe the remains off, and it should have just enough lubrication to pop on nice 'n' easily, and stay there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 push the bead to the centre of the rim all the way round... sir tarty can take them off with his hands doing it that way. I cant for shit though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Park tyre levers. Piece of piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Park tyre levers. Piece of piss. They lip round the bottom of the tyre, apposed to just being slopped on the bottom so they grip and pull the tyre off, instead of just slipping out and your knuckles being nailed into spokes .I found the maxxis tyres stupidly hard to get off at first, but after 3 or 4 times off the rim, its a peice of cake to get them off.

Concussion Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 push the bead to the centre of the rim all the way round... sir tarty can take them off with his hands doing it that way. I cant for shit though lolGot the same advice from tartys, works a treat if you have a bit of patience. "Lay the wheel on the floor, pinch the tyre with your fingers to get it to sit in the middle of the rim (keep from expanding by standing on tyre in two places). You should find there is enough slack to pull the tyre of with your fingers."I honestly didn't think it would work due to how tight the tyre was, but it came off really easy Sod damaging the rim with a screwdriver IMO....this works!

tank_rider Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I've not come across a tyre/rim combo i can't get off with only my hands yet!!Get the tyre in the middle of the rim and the slack in one place and it WILL come off.Alternatively ride with pretty damn low pressure and land a couple of gaps sideways, instant tyre popping off rim I managed it while trying a 180 gap earlier.

dave33 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 lol its easyer to remove w tyre with hands than tyre leversi fit and remove ust tuless tyres to tubless rims with my hands, almost impossible to use tyre levers on them with out damageing the bead bit so then they dont seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
