fedex knows me well, but i'm just a stranger to UPS on an embarrassing note, i couldn't mount a slightly small tire on a slightly large rim yesterday. spent over an hour messing with it and couldn't come close. as i was about to order up special tools from amazon, abby suggested we first take it over to a nearby bike shop and let them try. so we went to the super fancy road bike shop (rather than our usual bike shop that supports the homeless population) figuring they'd have "the proper tools for sure". i mean, it looked about 2 inches off so surely you'd need a special tool, right?
in 2 minutes of spinning and gyrating, using no tool beyond the same plastic tire lever i was using, the non english speaking fellow at city bikes in aventura had that brand new continental 26x1.75 wheel mounted. charged me $5 and i was done On Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 12:51 PM, Dan Penoff <d...@penoff.com> wrote: > FedEx just dropped them off to me.
