Why can't I get this new tyre on my bike?

just sent my missus down to the LBS to get me a smaller inner tube, god im either thick as fuck or it just wont go

If you bothered to get your own innertubes instead of sending the 'missus' you'd no doubt be man enough to put a tyre on :p

Pisti repped for thinking the same as me.

Well i just put my old tyre back on in less than a minute so basically the wheels doesnt fit 23's

Lozzles!

Like your style mate

"Yes love can I help you"

"Yes, I need a 23" innertube cos my boyfriend's thick as fuck and too ashamed to come here himself"

I told her to ring me when she got there and i told her what to get. No worries.

By the way we still have some new pedals and a cycle computer thing to fit tomorrow

no your tubes are too big...
im pretty sure the charge rims do take 23s....

Make sure you've got the right tools first, you'll need a left-handed spanner for one of the pedals.

Never had a tyre that wouldn't go on with thumb power alone, folding or wire bead.

Thumbs Denote the Will to Power Professor Sir Richard Owen, in his monograph On the Nature of Limbs, calls attention to the fact that the "thumb, which is the least important and constant digit of the anterior extremity in the rest of the mammals, becomes in man the most important element of the terminal segment, and that which makes it a hand properly so called."

Go Read this.

Just waiting on the missus now, can I fit the cycle computer thing to my back wheel instead of the front one? Would be handy for my turbo trainer

Is it wired or wireless?

Wireless cat eye thing

probably not...

Probably of no use as you've already got a computer but this exists, thinking of getting one myself.

And the glass hammers. PM Murtle - he has a dazzling array of hammers.

Should be easier now.
Ask missus to make a sandwich in the meantime.

One of the apprentices was sent to buy some tartan paint.....came back with 4 cans of Austin "Tartan red" paint. Careful with what you wish for.
