Thanks to this thread, i managed to get the rear tyre off, with the greatest of difficulty. Then while i was putting the dunlop 605 tyre on, i ripped the bead on it. Now i have to find the time to cut the tyre off.
What i don't understand is why this tyre was so difficult to get on compared to other tyres. I was using all of my relatively considerable power, bending the spoons. With other tyres i was always surprised how easy it was. Is the tenere rim a big size? I was seriously thinking of getting an excel 18 inch wheel, now i am decided. Any one know of a reputable cheap seller
