thought it looked a bit rubbish for removing sand

LBS used to have EPIC pedros workshop tyre levers for when MTB tubeless came about, they were made from steel coated in black 'teflon' paint, were about 10" long with handles. They were lost to the great floods, but they were the only thing I could get my tyres on and off with, a little bit unwieldy for the average evening ride :/

Leave the tyre on the radiator for 30 mins
Leave the wheel outside for 30 mins.

This only works in the winter.

Man up. Do it until you have no finger nails and your fingers are a bloody pulp. Do this enough times in your life and one day you will be a master of all tyre/rim combos and a fascinating object for the wimins and your sex life will be great.

The cable is about 500 foot long. When I need to stop I just call the little man who lives in the loft and he pulls the lever for me.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
