Digital Dee, don't forget to pick up some tire levers, plastic spoonish things to get the tire off. Take your time. I hated the first time I had to change a tire. Second wasn't so bad. Still don't like it, but now can do it. Can you say Mike's Lemonade?
Well, now I can replace tires (even 700's x 25) WITHOUT tire levers, using my hands and a bit of finesse. Maybe there IS hope!
I went down and bought a product called "SLIME"! I've got close to 700 miles on the bicycle and had "no flats"!!
Slime will work with a low pressure 26" tire, but don't expect it to work well on a 120 psi tire. It also REALLY screws up Presta valves.
