    Right so took off mk2 MKs fine off Stans Flow Ex.

    All tubed btw.

    Fitted first Intense tyre fine mostly by hand which surprised me as I know theyre hard to deal with from the past.
    Fair enough only to find the tube doesn’t take air…! **** I thoughf as had logos already lined up blah blah

    Now the front won’t fit one side at end of fitting even though I tried fairy liquid on bead and rim! D’oh

    So am I right in thinking I can boil a kettle and mix with bit of cold with fairy liquid mixed to soften tge bead…?

    I just wanna ride the filth on my new to me spikes ffs!

    Getting the bead into the centre of the rim is key. Watch this…
