Hello everyone.
While trying to sort out my replacement battery for my Bearprint bike I decided to replace both tyres with Marathon Plus puncture resistant tyres.
I managed to do the back tyre without too many problems but this morning while trying to replace the inner tube into the new front tyre I have punctured the tube by squeezing it with the tyre levers while doing the last difficult part getting the bead fully into the rim.
OK I thought, I'll be more careful with my 2nd spare innertube only to puncture that as well.
Please can anyone offer advice on how to do this without squeezing the tube and puncturing it?
Thanks and best wishes for Christmas and the new year.
Barry.
