I have an embaressing question...So I hosted this great bike clinic last feb. on how to change a tire in 5 minutes. Everyone did great but me. I have a horrible time getting my tire off and on. I went to my local shop where I bought my tires about 9 mos ago and he tells me that my tires called "Continental Force Grand Prix" are extremely difficult to get off and that my only choice was to wait until they wear out and get an easier set to change. I was bummed since I bought these there not long ago. The men I know can change my tire easily but I hate to say I don't have the hand strength to change these. I asked the shop if they had more heavy duty tire irons to help but he mentioned I could bend my rim that way....so now....every time I ride I have to have a back up in case I flat that someone will come help me- ridiculous and totally humiliating....does anyone have any suggestions besides pump a bunch more iron to get stronger. Has anyone heard of these tires? Thanks for any input
