slice Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Otherwise use a couple of "G" cramps to break the bead in one spot them work round the tyre till it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I bought some proper tyre levers and used fairy liquid etc but still couldn't do it. In the end I took it to a tyre shop and paid £8 to get it done which I thought was ok. I got the wheel back on easily and now it's all sorted. Thanks for all the help guys.Next project: fitting an alarm I bought ages ago but daredn't try it haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Got another puncture yesterday on the same wheel. Luckily the shop had an inner tube in stock. Even though it was a ball ache it wasn't as bad as last time because I knew what I was doing and had no trouble getting the wheel off and back on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevtheRev Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I wonder if they checked the inside of the tyre/rim for sharp objects before they fitted the new tube ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
