This goes out to anyone that changes their own tires. I have always gotten my tires changed at shop but decided that I could do it. I bought the tire changing spoons and got the the tire off (practically wrestling with it/wwwthreads_images/icons/mad.gif).I have to leave for work right now so I haven't had a chance to put on my new Dunlop D752./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif Does anyone have any suggestions for making this process easier and without ruining the bead? Please help, I'll be at tommorrow morning and don't want to destroy my new tire..

Soapy water helps, so does WD40. Also, if you lay the wheel on an old tire or a five gallon bucket, you won't be as likely to damage your brake disc or sprocket.

In addition to what the other guys said also make sure that the opposite bead is pushed down into the center of the rim. The rim has that indentation just for that purpose. It gives you that extra clearence to get the tire on.
Good Luck!!

Thanks all for the advice./wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif Put my new tire on today, took about a 1/2hr./wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif It was so much easier with Pamolive, it practicaly slid on. I'll find out tonight if I pinched the tube, didn't hear any leaks so hopefully it'll be O.K.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

my buddy works at a tire shop, i use this stuff called skid. it makes the tire like butter! wax on wax off. cant buy it in stores though. need spokes, front and rear. new tires, front and rear. front wheel bearings and seals. want to get my cylinder ported also. the 695 lasted longer a little but i think its too hard. at leat when riding on dirt and grass. bills be adding up with the part time wages!!!!! later fellas.
Dont forget to put like 2lbs of air in the tube to keep it up and away from the tire irons and you can here it if you pinch it
