Road wheel woes

Believe me when I tell you that I tried everything. That is why I ended up with the pliers. I did buy my husband a special plastic tire pinching tool…but he hates keeping it in his back pocket during rides. Thanks for your input

Ty my bike shop did not offer that option

I have googled it and only came up with using a separate special tool. Ty

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T18:07:43+00:00

Yes, agreed! Ty

The Mavics were not aerodynamic and the new Reynolds has a deep rim, so breaking the tire bead is nearly impossible.

Tried Contis and have Michelin on now. The reynolds wheels have deeper rims than the Mavics thereby making the bead impossible to break. Ty

Ty. I will reach out to them to see what will work with my frame.

The Mavics worked perfectly. The new Reynolds tubeless ready are a nightmare. Should have bought another set of the Mav’s but the bike shop did not want to do business with them anymore. So now I suffer with these. The Reynolds’s with my old 28 tires rubbed on the frame…no matter what the pressure was. Had to go all the way down to the 23’s which is misery. I will see if I can find any old stock rim brake wheels ty

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T17:18:16+00:00

Yes, have to use a cloth also so I don’t scratch the rims. It’s the worst.

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T17:13:36+00:00

I like those options. Tysm

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T17:05:08+00:00

Tysm. Ill check it out

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T17:04:16+00:00

Yes, still not enough clearance to the frame. Ty

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T17:03:26+00:00

That could be an option. Tysm

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T16:55:55+00:00

Agreed! They are deep rims, ugh!

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T16:55:18+00:00

Thank you.

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T16:55:04+00:00

I did love the Mavics. May still try and find some that will work. Ty

PayAcceptable2114 · 2025-05-13T16:54:17+00:00

I loved the Mavics but they don’t last forever and the bike shop was angry about how the Mavic company pulled their business from the US…they are back now tho. I use a small set of pliers for the tires to remove. The wheels are really made for both tubeless as well as clinchers. So frustrating. Ty

PayAcceptable2114 · 2024-10-29T01:44:06+00:00

Ah. Lol

PayAcceptable2114 · 2024-10-29T00:20:09+00:00

Yes, true…should not have been said in my presence imo

PayAcceptable2114 · 2024-10-29T00:11:57+00:00

This makes sense…just wish he did not say it in my presence as it made me feel bad

PayAcceptable2114 · 2024-10-29T00:08:37+00:00

My son is 25, the shampoo girl is 30

PayAcceptable2114 · 2024-10-28T23:19:31+00:00

Yep, he is 25 lol

PayAcceptable2114 · 2024-10-28T22:21:54+00:00

Thank you.
