I have some Lightbicycle AR46 carbon disc rim, running tube with 28mm GP5000. Had my first puncture yesterday and it took an absolute AGE to get the tyre out, it was ridiculously difficult. It felt like the bead of the tyre was sitting really deep within the rim, so getting leverage to get the lever under the bead was so difficult. I snapped two levers. Took me about 45 mins by the road side to swap and luckily it didn't go again. Any tips on decent levers, or any other pointers on what I was possibly doing wrong?
