Right so took off mk2 MKs fine off Stans Flow Ex.

All tubed btw.

Fitted first Intense tyre fine mostly by hand which surprised me as I know theyre hard to deal with from the past.
Fair enough only to find the tube doesn't take air...! **** I thoughf as had logos already lined up blah blah

Now the front won't fit one side at end of fitting even though I tried fairy liquid on bead and rim! D'oh

So am I right in thinking I can boil a kettle and mix with bit of cold with fairy liquid mixed to soften tge bead...?

I just wanna ride the filth on my new to me spikes ffs!

Getting the bead into the centre of the rim is key. Watch this...
