Now I remember why I don't change tyres anymore. I decided it was better
to take the 21 inch Metzeler MX tyre off the spare wheel I obtained for
the Old Gimmer's Hillclimber rather than just cutting the hub out. Don't
know why really as it is going to be rebuilt anyway with a 17 or 18 inch
rim.

My trusty Heyco (from a BMW toolkit)tyre levers are a bit short, and
adding extra leverage had them flexing in an alarming "slip and I'll
break your jaw" kind of way. I was heading for three falls, but
eventually managed to achieve a submission.
I won't be putting the new tyre on the rebuilt wheel, whatever it is,
that's for sure.
