Killer tyres!
Last weeken I tried to fit a pair of TKC80's (tube type) to my Africa Twin. Damn near killed me. To cut a long story short, 3 of us tried to put the rear on and not one of us could do it. I haven't tried to fit new tires by hand before but my mate has and he was sure it wasn't right. We got one side on but the other would not go more than half way on round the rim.
Anyone else had this kind of a problem? I know its hard but this was impossible. We're not on the trip yet but we sure as hell don't need this in the midle of nowhere sometime!
Cheers
Chris
