  1. I suppose it's just practice. Once the tyre bead is in the wheel well then it's easy to pop the other side off. Just use plenty of tyre soap and a hide mallet and the tyre's off. A static balancer stand is only about £30. Tyre soap and weights are plentiful on ebay.

  2. Blimey, that's cheap! I used to do my own tyres with just a pair of levers and a lot of huffing and puffing. Gave up bothering years ago. But as I buy most tyres online now, perhaps I should reconsider.

    Dave, I hate you so much right now:frown:
