maybe nexus ? - where you have to shift onto the lowest gear and can then unhook the cable, is there something that looks like a hex nut and is in fact clamping onto the cable?
if so, you can pull the cable off the crescent fitting on the hub, holding on and pulling slightly on that bitwhat town are you in? capitals bike coop is still open, otherwise maybe go to a workshop of a recycling center if there is one?..
also coke(liquid) from the bottom through the steerer?
take the wheel out and help the stem with some rod through the forkcrown? -
Stem is completely stuck - unscrewing the stem pin finally happened, but it's still stuck and applying hammer hasn't helped. Looked up an online video and going to get some suitable spray to attempt to unstick it.
Shit outta luck, especially if it been above max insertion for such a long time.

Updating this as I now have a pair of these tyres for a relatively modest €70, have removed rack and one mudguard, and am currently struggling with two issues:

Cannot work out how the fuck to remove the cable from the rear hub, so currently unable to remove the rear wheel. Bahh. Not sure what model it is either.
This may involve going to a shop now. Unfortunately the free service in town where a bloke shows you how to fix stuff has now closed for the winter.
