changed my tubes today!
well im happy but suffered a lot lol
i lost my tire levers so i shoved my finger underneath the tire and pulled it out...OUCH but i managed to take the tire off
anyways i thought my finger almost being sliced off by the rim was enough pain but no!
so i managed to get the tube in the tire then around the rim. a little bit of the tire was hanging off so i started pushing it down with my palm to get the tire in. after a few pushes my palm developed a BLISTER THE SIZE OF A QUARTER!
lol so i finally got the tire on and put air in the tires and i did a great job! blew them up to the right psi and took my bike on a 15 mile ride and the tires are still holding up! hows that for roughing it? even got some battle wounds too!
