 Murphy, my '28 Aero, is in need of replacement tyres, so I bought a
set of Avons. That was the easy part...the last time I changed split
rim wheels was during my university days, some forty years ago...I
managed to remove (safely) the split rim, pull the tube out, but am
have trouble removing the tyre. I've put detergent laced water on the
inside bead in hopes of getting it loosened up, but to no avail...is
there some simple bit I've forgotten or neglected to do?
If anyone could help out, I'll truly appreciate it, and whenever we
meet, I'll stand a pint or two!
Cheers & Happy Morganing,
Jim Nichol
