does anyone know anything that can help me put freq-G's on easier? i did it last time but forgot how. the tires are so tight that when i try to thumb the tire inbetween the tire walls the another side comes out.. they're easier to put on my arrow rim rear wheels coz they don't have walls for brakes

tommorows supposed to be hot and so im gonna leave my front wheel in the sun for abit before trying again haha

and now to copy+paste this onto global-flat ^^

Grab yourself a set of Park tire levers. They should set you back only $10-$15 from your local bike shop.

sure thing: http://www.global-flat.com/smf.....ic=44241.0

For those that ceebs reading:
"I like doing these things with my bare hands and for me it helped a ton just rubbing some water with very little soap through the rim (only where it was needed) and in the inside of the tire.

Hope that helps!" - bransyeah
