been tryign for over an hour to get my bloody tire off, snapped 1 tire lever already, 2.35 maxxis minions, whats best way, they just wont come off so annoying me
-let all the air you can out of the tube
-work the tyre back and forwards on the rim to loosen the tyres' bead as much as possible
-insert tyre lever( if you are snappng plastic ones try a solid metal lever)
-fix the lever onto a spoke
-insert second tyre lever under bead and work around your rim until the tyre is removed.
all the best.
yeh but when i squeeze the tire it sounds like airs just being pushed back in when i let go, ive been squeezing it out for ages and no different
take it to a shop.
Could try sticking a match stick or something similar down the valve to keep that depressed while you squeeze tyre ❓
Failing that tea spoon handles make useful metal tyre levers when previously there where none 😉
Try to make sure that the tyre beads are right into the well of the rim opposite the point where you are trying to get the tyre off.
yeh done it now, them plastic levers are crap im using a butter knife and it worked lol
