Mounted new tires today - Lemmy.world

Went out for a ride, and of course it started pissing down rain. They Road 5s did feel good in the wet though.

Did you do it yourself? If so, was it very complicated?
Yeah, did it myself. Wasn’t too terrible of a job. Breaking the bead, and then getting the bead initially over the rim were the two hardest parts. I used a combination of a vice and large c-clamps to break the bead. Only thing I’d do different next time is to buy better rim protectors. The ones I used tore through and I ended up scratching the rim.
