Was helping a friend out by giving his wifes bike a race prep before an upcoming triathlon. The bike checked out fine but when I went to swap out the tires for some new ones, and I could hardly get the tires off?!?!? And then it was equally as hard to put some new ones on! (Michelin Pro Races) I have NEVER had such difficulty with tires. My wife rides a bike w/ 650 wheels and they are no problem.
Just wasn't sure there was something I'm missing here. She would be completely out of luck if she flatted.
- Is this true for all 650 Zipp 404 wheelsets? They are about 4 years old.
- Is there a better tire to use?
