        The tyre is the street pro 2 flatter profile than I am used to on the Enduro which is actually quite nice.
        Soft compound as Northampton roads and pavements suck

          @wheelwizard Having been through the tire removal a few times by hand, I can attest to the struggle. I've since invested in some tire spoons that come with plastic rim guards, making the process stress free.

          Good job though!!!

            @wheelwizard "Step 2. 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.
