Good advice, using a dremel never occurred to me, was imagining using some larger hardware and risking the frame!
In regards to tyre talk you’re all giving very convincing arguments, however the most convincing argument to me right now is my shed is full of old bike parts, seatposts, saddles, wheels, tyres and handlebars.
Adding another set of barely used tyres to the pile is not sparking joy
Maybe this is the motivation to finally clear it all out, I’ve ordered some bubble wrap and mailing bags this afternoon, ill make a for sale post in the coming days for the random, now unused stuff I’ve hoarded building 2 bikes
Do what I do, ride excessively just to show them how much you hate them and then fit a new set.
Actually, what I'd do would be fit a new set and hang onto the old set for 3 years and then find another bike to put the old set on and THEN wear them out.
