Greetings all,
I am wondering if others out there have had much success at removing their bikes' Rear tires
(on the more-stout-star-design, black-colored rims) as is on my GL500i.
I have changed out front and rear tires on other bikes before, and I have changed out the
front wheel's tire on this GL before (with Tire Levers).
I tried for an hour plus (in the sun after letting the material heat-up) to unseat and remove that
16" tire from the rim and finally took it to a nice shop where they had it off with a pneumatic
device in a few minutes.
I am not totally opposed to taking the wheel into a nice shop again; I am interested to find out
if others have a method to recommend for a manual removal and installation.
Thanks All.
Cheers.
