BeNNy Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Right....For the past 45 minutes or so, ive been trying to remove my rear tyre...It just wont come off I've snapped a tyre lever and have tried many techniques...The closest i can get is getting one side of the sidewall to come out with a screw driver, After that ive tried pulling it up and down...normally it just goes and one side of the tyre comes off, but this one is gay...it just gets stuck in that position Help me pleaseeeeeeeee Benny.

Rich J Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Do you want to keep the tyre? If not then you could just get out a stanly knife and cut across the tyre, unless you have wire beeded side wall then you could struggle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Whos the daddy! it's doable with just your fingers you know- i didn't believe whoever it was that claimed to be able to do it a few months back but I've done it twice now. Its all about getting the big thick rimmy bit of the tyre into the middle of the rim. It hurts like buggery though so I much prefer a trip to the kitchen drawer for some forks.
