    Just put this back together out of the bike box so still have Gran Canaria friendly climbing gears on it, but it’s looking well.

    I’ve read that since I bought the bike. I’ll have to do a trial at home soon before I get caught at the side of the road

    It's the first time ever, it actually failed me get a tyre off. Managed the front despite breaking two tyre levers, but couldn't do the rear. -My plan is to get them set up tubeless to see if they would go on easier, or at the very least mean far fewer reasons to remove the tyres at all.

    Did a trial the other day. Yup, they are a pig. ended up using a tea spoon to get the bead to seperate. Once the bead sepreated from the wheel they came off without too much of a drama and they are gatorskins so not exactly light weight tyres

    Does the usual trick of starting on the opposite side to the valve when removing the tube off the bead work?

    Then when putting the tyre on make sure to mount the section where the valve is last and the most important thing is to make sure all the tyre that you have lifted onto the rim is sitting in the centre channel on both sides. Once that is done correctly the last bit should lift over without too much effort.

    I don't have Reynolds wheels but followed a guide for those wheels when I was unsure after getting tubeless ready carbon clinchers.

    There should be no need for levers but I do know Reynolds are known to be extra tricky.

    I dont think it's specific to Reynolds, all of the tubeless ready wheels have a much tighter tiolerance on the bead to create the airtight seal. I punctured my conti gp4000 with prime tubeless ready wheels, and they were an absolute pain to get tyre off and on. Same with the Vision wheels that came with the bike. Good tyre levers are a neccessity!

    Took the day off to finish this. Still a few things to do - need to flip the stem and add mudguards for all weather duty. Think it looks great.

    Are the grooves meant to be underneath?

    Feck, is that why they are always so slippy when wet?

    For most, they can be installed either way, but grooves facing up provides more crevices for mould and mildew growth and also reduces surface contact area with footwear leading to them being significantly slippier.

    But it is the difference between a slippy thing and a very slippy thing at the end of the day.
