Knives out
Iâm a spoon user in these scenarios myself.
Fwiw in the end the classic sex toy tire lever (with my knee on it) did the trick.
I thought we agreed that these are espresso tampers?
Big fan of the g-one speed.
Boken Plus comes in 42 and is a terrific tire.
I wish we could train an artificial intelligence on this thread, so I wonât have to go back through it all for my next tire purchases. Thatâs honestly whatâs holding me back from committing to buying tires rn.
What is the fastest 650x42, and what pressure is optimal for a ~190lb rider?
The one falling out of an airplane

Test-fit new tire (thanks Braden)âstraight. Then used my new tools and the thing was mounted within a few minutes with minimal struggle.
I put it on backwards. Just managed to remove it again after using my heels to jump on the bead. That was an hour of my life Iâd like back. This is why bike shop labor should cost more.

Just fine, if not a little dear price wise.
Oh yeah, so my experiment putting orange seal in my EL reens because Stanâs wasnât sealing them was a success. They hold air now. Fyi. Use orange seal in your reens, I guess.
Iâm happy to pay for quality at this point, my adventures in cut-price offbrand valves from Amazon is coming to a predictable end
OrangeSeal
in every
tire.
I think this means that I can put on those Schwalbe g-one that are even more flimsy. They might seal too.
You could paint the inside of the tire with a layer of latex paint if you want to add a set of suspenders to your belt.
