|   Installing a new tire on HED aero wheels | Joel_T
Feb 8, 2002 2:30 PM | | Hi there,
I'm having a hard time installing brand new Continental tires on my HED Deep & Jet 2000 wheels. The tires are very stiff & while muscleing them in, I punctured the tube.
Does anyone have some tips & tricks for easier installtion? is the tire too stiff? will chanign to a non-folding tire help?
Cordially,
Joel |

This seems to be a characteristic of Conti folding tires... once they've been mounted and aired up, they become a bit easier to reinstall the next time...
We abide.
Remain In Light. |
