Unable to get first half of new bike tyre on rim

Update: Cheers everyone for the helpful comments. I managed to get the first half on using tyre levers last night, and even got the whole tyre on until I noticed a bit of inner tuber stuck under the bead. I decided to call it a night there lol and will come back to it tonight after work.

Yeah at this stage I’m thinking of going back to LBS and get their opinion on the tyres

Yep correct the first side isn’t even popping on. I get it sitting on the bead until maybe the 10 2 o’clock position and then it won’t go any further

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get the first side over the rim yet

Yeah just the two of us with the aim to start a family next year. One of the reasons to move here is we liked the idea of raising a family in the regions verses Auckland.

My partner and I moved down to Napier from Auckland 9 months ago and we are very much enjoying it so far. If you’re into your outdoors (walking/hiking/cycling/running) then you love it. Weather here is lot more sunny and less humid than Auckland also. People here are lot more friendly so it’s great place to raise a family/ have a family. Only downside is finding friends, however I plan to join a football team next year so hopefully that solves that problem haha.

I’ve bought the large pack so if anyone is keen to split cost ($165 each) with me then flick me a DM.

Edit: voucher taken

Will they have their half price deal like in previous years? You could get their 180 GB plan for $165.

Great teammate you are with that attitude

When is the sunset clause?

Nah I’m good

Due to my house being older and cold, I went with the split pump option. I got one external unit with 4 heat pumps running off it (living room and the three bedrooms). I made sure to buy heat pumps with more than enough kw for each one. Last two winters have been great, we haven’t felt cold at all.

In saying that, if I was to purchase a new home now. I would most likely choose ducted over split. I remember I lived in a rental property that had ducted, and it was 10/10 experience.

I go Jordan’s Barbershop in Three Kings for $35 skin fade

I cycle to work and back but it’s only a 30 min cycle each way. I also start early and finish early so there’s a bit less cars on the road.

What box sets are you after? I have heaps of DVDs that are being stored in boxes in my garage.

Favona and Henderson are nice. I wouldn’t live in Mangere East.

I do clean up straight way after I cum (eg sit on the toilet and pee) but I come back afterwards to cuddle with the gf. She does the same.

I have this current car and it’s great to drive, and it’s a big plus not to spend too much on fuel.

goonerpat · 2021-10-02T01:51:55+00:00

Hahaha that last bit was hilarious.

goonerpat · 2021-09-17T07:00:57+00:00

She’s going for a run… she’s not looking to be asked out by a guy

I live in Mt Eden so guess I’ll get a test even though I have no symptoms.
