Now the tyre and tube will happily slide home together with less effort and far less risk of pinching the tube & as a bonus they are very easy to remove again. Been doing car & bicycle tyres like this for years.....
We're in the middle of our 8 month summer.... a tough life we have here in the Colonies
Aye

That's sage advice Greig. I'll look forward to Mrs L's bemusement as to why I smell of rubber and baby powder!
I'm blaming the weather. I've done several without problem before... including fitting the 5 tyres on the ORT now. I'll just have to borrow a space-saver spare from the Speedex again until it gets a bit warmer!
Ok... So this was last time and just to keep it moveable.
