what are you getting into this weekend???

[Matty]

Cami the last time I tried to change a tire I could only break one bead/side. I even ran over the tire with a car and it didn't do shit.

Any tips?

90% chance I give up and drive the rim and new tire to a shop. I still have to try it.

Bust weekend for Ray. I would bitch too if I didn't like watching it.

For ray it's more than recreation cami.

Ooooh, might try that. Would WD-40 work?

Yeah that'd probably be a better option actually. I usually resort to pb blaster if the WD-40 doesn't get the job done.

hell you could probably even just use butter knives to help break the seal.

 

[Matty]

I have two tire irons. Seems to be enough for bike tires. If I can break both fokkin beads.

 

[Cami]

have you tried this kind of method? I mean you don't want to damage the rim, but if your gentle it might work.

 

[Matty]

WTF is he doing? He's going to warp both his rotor and sprocket.

 

[Cami]

idk, I was mostly referring to how he has the spoons. Maybe this would be a worthwhile investment for you:

 

[Matty]

Nah, I considered that thing but the reviews are atrocious. Plus it's not like I need to change tires every couple of months. This new front should last me several years.

I just got a Venom front stand, seems to work well enough. 40 dollorz, smells of China.

 

[Cami]

Oh, I didn't even read the reviews, looks like it damages the seals.

 

[RayRay]

might be something Amby could help you out with, matty

 

[Matty]

I think Amby is too upper middle class to change his own tire.

I come from the French Canadian slums, I have no white-collar pride.

 

[RayRay]

for some reason i thought he and i had a talk about fixing stuff from time to time when he does those Track days with his buddies...i could be wrong though..

 

[Matty]

Did I mention I was drunk.
