Tube trouble !

[turnipbmw]

Thought I would put a more knobby tyre on the drz today as it was all over the place in the snow yesterday.

Nipped the fcuking tube 3 times

Have ordered a Michelin one but pretty pissed off, I bought the bike for snow and it's off the road !

Forgotten what cnuts these can be

I feel your pain

No excuse either, I used to work in a bike shop in the days before tubeless tyres.

My boss used to charge customers if he nipped a tube, used to tell them it was their risk.

Not a popular chap

If its the front then I'm with Tim,

If its the rear, no excuse

 

[turnipbmw]

Yes, front 90/90 21 TKC One security bolt.

Pretty horrid 'kings' Chinese tube.

Going to be really pissed if the new tube gets damaged as well

Try putting a small amount of air in before levering the tyre on, should make the tube less vulnerable to lever attack.

try making sure the tubes out of the way before attacking it with levers ya ham fisted sod
