    my tire on my 24 inch nimbus cycle is worn out in one place and i was
    trying to rotate it so that it wouldnt wear down any further but when i
    tried to take it off the rim it seemed too tight and the tire lever
    almost broke and i was scared i would damage the rim. does anybody have
    any tips or secrets to make it easier or something

    Steel levers. They make it alot easier...Also a longer lever to get more
    force will help alot too.. Look in the articles and tutorials section
    of the forum, theres is a tire removal guide there.

    Edit-Jerrick beat me.

    heh i can get my trials tyre off with my bare hands. i doubt thats good
    though, tristan said it probably means i have a flat spot on my rim.
