Anyone know of an easier way to get that tire off the rim?
fyi. No trouble with the front wheel which is 17mm wide, rear wheel is 19mm wide
Yep. I use these tires with Enve 4.5 and they will seal with no air loss without sealant. The downside is a bead that is hard to break. Lots of thumb pressure to push the bead to the center. I also use a plastic type wedge between the inside rim and bead to twist it into the center. Got to do both sides to center than plastic tire iron etc.
