"learn how to fix a flat and quit worrying. it isnt hard and it doesnt take a lot of work."

Well, this experience isn't typical, I've successfully fixed flats, but it's no "snap" to me and never WILL be. Once I tried to fix a flat on my '62 Schwinn (See Icon) and it took me an HOUR to get the tire off the rim! I STILL don't know why, since this was the 2nd time I had removed this tire from this bike and it only took me 10 minutes the FIRST time. After all that, I replaced the tube and I STILL had a flat! Yeah, EZ for SOME!!!!
