Had a terrible time changing tires on my cyclocross. Tires way too tight for the rims. Broke a nylon lever before getting the last one on and pinching the tube in the process. Could not get the tire off to change tube
. Took the bike in to the Bike Doctor to finish what I began. After three more broken levers and a worn out looking Cody the tires were replaced with good tubes and ready to roll. Thanks to the guys at the Bike Doctor and looking forward to picking up some steel tire levers.
Anyone have any tricks for this situation? Thought about soaping the tires if this happens again for some lubrication.
