Clincher Tyres on tubular rims

use tyre levers.

ask squabs to do it?

yey !

finally, done it...

Utterly epic.

Epic fail and epic win all in the same thread.

Thanks Cyclotron!

If only more n00bs were this entertaining.

Havent we had this exact thread before?

Merge or purge?

Bugger, cant resist advising.

If you cant see the tyres underbelly, then it might be easier to judge via the rim. Does the rim appear to have hooks to engage with a clinchers tyre bead?

or if not is it flater for glueing a tub like this...

To be honest, it looks like a tight clincher. Get some decent tyre levers (not metal), and get those thumb muscles working.

yeah it ended up being a super tight clincher, thanks for the help

you are jonnyrau ?

Well answer the man!

Merge. Find me the candidate thread.

Merge. Find me the candidate thread.

Cant find the thread, might have been a mild derail, or thread dredge. Definitly remember someone wanting to put some clinchers on a old tubular rim they had. Much piss was taken.

for the record, this "Cyclotron" is not affiliated with the original "cyclotron3k" ;-)

i am not jonnyrau the bad trader, just new to the forum but already know lots about him and his dirty works.

You must be his "brother" then.

This thread is made of fail.

if you don't know how to change a tub (as I expect most of us on here do not), you don't want to even think about riding on one around London.

Useful bookmark for you.
