JohanDiv Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Scott and Pyga working together on the front. Glad it looks like Phil is feeling a bit better. Matthys deserves a good day for a change!
DieselnDust Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Can you please tell me how a tyre lever would help if you can not even get a space to insert it? Look at the clip they both tried to "unbead" the tyre so the rubber was right against the rim and no space to put a tyre lever in. Not wanting to start a fight, just honestly asking, as the way I see it they did not even got to the part where you would need a tyre lever. Thats because of the foam insert inside the tyre.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 "Locked front suspension after crash" .... would it be safer to have two front suspension stanchions instead of one, so that you dont have to lock it after a crash? Safer is for the nervous Go Team Scalpels ????

NotSoBigBen Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Training ride.... And race situation a bit different scenario thoLet’s see Sagan (sorry Gen) or any other road pro fit a tube during a stage race.... putting a pre prepared tubby on is easy but I suspect we would see a lot more bike throwing if the roadies had to do this..... plus carry their own sparesPutting a 'pre prepared' on may be easy but taking the old one off. Now there's a job my friend! Trust me I've done it a few times lately, long story why ... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Quagga Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Thats because of the foam insert inside the tyre.How does having a tyre lever help then? I was just looking at the backup Scott team and how much he had to fight the tyre now to get the seal to break and he is not using a tyre lever yet either?

I get the tyre of easily with a metal tyre level from my Topeak multitool. It's thin and stiff . You just need to get the lip in and you're in business.The thick plastic levers are much harder to insert under the bead

Am sure they would welcome your wealth of knowledge

Ie pro roadies not being able to do the job. Also there is that video of the 1 pro lady in a CX race if my old brain remembers correctly changing a tubby mid race.
