I have M bike, converted in E-bike. Current installed Cross King wired 26".
The big problem I have is that when puncture a tire, I want change it myself (at field), but that is not possible. So, I no other options and calls home to someone pick up me with a car. Which is really frustrating.
My father have experience in removing tires and he does that with
crowbar and screwdriver on old way. He never saw that hardly remove tires in his live, and me too... So, I am helping him and holding tire when he barely succeeds remove it!
My printed plastic tire removal tool (two of them) broken because that force. No way with that.
My idea is now looking new tires which can go easier.
But, in other hand, I had to replace first rim (same size) because disc brake installing, which seems it's a little smaller. And do you know how I remove/installed a tire? ONLY BY HANDS! Now I am so confused!
I watched video when someone said that tires, even are 26", can be smaller and bigger. And problem start when we bought the biggest rim and the smallest tire! ?
Now I am sure that Chinese rear motor hub rim is slightly bigger than front rim. And tires are smallest, (think that I saw in feedbacks that user talks that Continental it goes hard on rim).
So, because I had 6 times REAR puncture in 16 months, it is necessary to do something about easier install/remove tires from rim.
(If want, see Thread about my punctures).
(How I am drive then? Check here in details).
Which tire brands are slightly bigger? Does it help if buy tubeless tire and drive with inner tube like now?
