Swear at tyre until it comes off" Aha preach! The only tire I didn't have to is the big burris BTG 12x8 😅
Loving the ride! We need to meetup for a ride at some point. I've re-added Northants back into my usual loops ^-^

Seconding the tire spoons. I never valued them till I had to pop an enduro off a superflux and may have invented new swears till I caved and printed the spoons to get it off.

I've since invested in some tire spoons that come with plastic rim guards, making the process stress free.

Good job though!!!

Soft compound as Northampton roads and pavements suck
