Hey all KXers.
So I have revived my rear wheel and wanted to remove the tyre to clean the inside and also heard bead like things rolling around in the tyre. I got all the air out and loosened the rim lock, but the tyre is SO ON THERE I can barely get tyre levers in. Once I get a tyre leaver in there it feels like there is now way I can push it over the rim to get the bead off the rim. It almost seemed glued on.
Its off a 99 KX250. Michelin Cross Competition 120/80-19.
I've thought of taking it to the shop to get removed, but since I am not putting a new tyre on and only want to clean and inspect, I wanted to try do it myself and keep costs down.
Any ideas?
