I have a Bike-E, and as some of you may already know, changing the rear tire and/or tube requires
two open ended wrenches. I'm looking at tires I don't have to worry about..any suggestions? I ride
about 3-5 miles a day, mostly straight away and a 1/2 mile steeply graded hill. I came across the
airless tire web site, but haven't heard of any recumbent users in my area having experience using
them. thanks! Ed

I put Maxxis Hookworms on my wife's EZ-1 and they have been great. They're not airfree tires, but
they hold up very well.

Can't help with the airless tire question, but why do you need two wrenches? I ran a 3x7 hub on my
V-Rex for years and only needed a single 15mm combination wrench.

If you do a google search of this recumbent NG, you will find a TON of posts on air free tires. EZ

I have used Airfree Tires for several years on both recumbent and DF bikes and they have been
GREAT for me.
