Hi,
can anyone suggest a tyre that is ok to get off and on Fulcrum racing 5 wheels. I know tyres are usually a bit tight but this was extreme :evil:
I have spent the last 2 hours getting Conti Ultra Gatorskin 25s on the wheels.
The must be an easier combination....................
any recommendations? Thanks,
All my life I've wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific.

    Probably down to technique too.
    Yellow is the new Black.

    Hello, I wouldn't worry now you've got them on! Judging by reports about Gatorskins, it could be a while before you have to take one off!

    I've tried one or two sets of tyres on Fulcrums over the years, and they're not easy.

    I have the Fulcrum racing 3's, and have had Conti GP4000s and Ultremo ZX on them without any problems. I dont even take tyre levers out with me anymore as they are that easy to do. Brother has the 5's, and he says the GP4000s go on very easily.

    Sorted now got some schwalbe luganos for £15 each. Fitted them for me too. Had a job getting the old ones off as well . Great service again from Schmoos in Swansea :-)
