I've tried a couple tyres on the rim already including a conti and BLB black mamba tyre - took it into a bike shop and we ended up having to cut off the black mamba and couldn't even get the conti on… :( anyone on a 90 rim who could recommend a tyre that isn't like death to take off or put on??

cheers.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
