  1. I got a flat on my summit, so I ordered a new tube and a
    new Luna tire since the old one is pretty bald. I just got
    them in the mail, and everything was good until I realized
    I couldn't take the old tire off the rim. I have plastic
    tire levers, but they just can't get the thing off. Does
    everyone have this problem with the Alex rim? Do I need a
    special tool?

  2. Sorry if you've already tried this, but make sure the tyre,
    at the opposite side of where you're working, is sitting
    right in the middle of the rim. That should give you a bit
    more to work with.

    Good luck! Andrew

    P.S. It's 2.40am and I want to go to bed!!!
