Even on smooth tarseal it's giving me Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at the front, haemorrhoids at the back, and chronic perineal... well, never mind.
Anyway, I like the idea of pinching the overinflated tyre in the vise, but I have the wonderfull full chaincase which renders removing the rear wheel about as much fun as a colonoscopy.
Unless I can get a second pair of hands to hold the whole bike up in the air while I position the rear tyre in the vise...
