I don't even need levers to get the downhill tyre off and on my MTB. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1089#post-10206 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:05:07 +0000 ARobComp 10206@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I didnt know you could write so much about fixing punctures.

It follows that knowing how to look after the bike goes hand in hand with being an enlightened eco-aware cyclist. One of the really cool things about bicycles is that they remain an antidote to disposable 'black box' culture."</p> <p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4798122511_091d477646.jpg"></p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/comms/srv.a4d?f%5Fpg=site_info/how-to.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/comms/srv.a4d?f%5Fpg=site_info/how-to.htm</a> </p>
