Hi,
I just got into riding a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. However, lately I have been getting a lot of flats (4 in 7 days). I figure this comes with the territory, as my bike (a Raleigh R500) was given to me and the tires are a bit worn with some pretty noticable dry rot. I just want to get the rest of the season out of them.
Anyway, the Crank Brothers tire lever I was using broke on my third replacement, and required a significant amount of muscle to remove and replace a 700c x 23 tire. Does anyone have a tool they have found to be effective for tires of this size? I've heard they are notoriously annoying.
Thanks
