Doing a Wrexham to Llandudno and back ride a couple of years ago we had 4 people simultaneously trying to get the tyre back on my tubeless wheel.

Managed it, only to find we'd got a pinch in the tube so had to start all over again.

Guess what happened yesterday?

 

[PaulSB]

My technique is to get around the first foot of the tyre seated as deep into the rim as possible and I then press the inside on my forearm on the bit I've done while working the next section in and continue like that to the last bit when I usually sort of roll the tyre over the rim with the heel of my hand.

Yes, I can see how that works, might have a play with that one. My technique is to fit one side, push the valve up in to the tyre, rest the opposite side of the wheel in the pit of my stomach and begin working the tyre in with my thumbs equally round from each side of the valve, when I reach the point when no more will go on easily flip the wheel round so the valve rests on my stomach and roll the last few inches on to the rim. Then work round both sides pushing the tyre away from the rim to check for pinches.....................

......not that I know anything according to some Bitter? Moi?

You might be surprised at the number of Americans that think Canada IS part of America

Or the number of Americans who know England isn't a synonym for London! Apologies to @12boy

Same continent different country totally

Obviously, but it is part of America in the same way that the UK is part of Europe.

I rolled my sleeve up to have my jab yesterday and the nurse said 'You've got some good muscles there!'
I said ' You should have seen me 30 years ago. Lol'.

Mr WD informed me this afternoon that he was like Greek god. I replied and you're just as old as well.

What is it with all-night parties in Coventry...?

Fair play to the landlord. I've been next door to have a word but she wouldn't answer the door, the loud music started again half an hour before I went round but it went quiet when I went round and its been quiet since.

What about the 2nd week ?

 

[welsh dragon]

The one about the mob (sorry the peaceful protestors according to some) surrounding the van deporting illegal immigrants and forcing them to be released.

I'm with you Mo.

Just having torrential rain combined with a massive hailstorm with the hailstones bouncing off the road, I don't fancy sitting outside a pub in this weather!

Don't know whether to drive to Newtown or use a boat

Makes a change from us getting it. Still dry here but not very warm. I should really have a walk but these damned tourists will be here being the weekend!
