I've always changed my own tires (even on cars, for years). Find me in Moab and I will be glad to help -- sans beer (I drink wine with dinner). But then, I'm sure there will be no shortage of people at Moab who will be willing to help. Verle Nelson Cedaredge, CO

I'll bring the Ruglide rubber lubricant and a sent of irons you just bring the bike and the new tire. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa

you mean you'd pass on a free install and a chance to see Fred mount a tire with one hand while talking with a phone cradled in his ear? KUrt

I'll also be there on Tuesday. I'd be happy to help you install it; It's breaking the bead on the old one that will be the problem. Then again Gino may bring his hack saw. Anyway we'll find a way. Of course, if he has time, it may be worth paying the Hinksta to do it and then get to observe his secret, patented process that even turned Gino into an attentive student. Bogdan, who never registers for rallies in advance, bad luck you know.

My ProLev'r will break the bead even with a weakling like me. I never leave home without it. George Escondido, CA

I ordered one about two weeks ago. Didn't even realize it was small enough to take on board. Still not here; better call him Monday. BTW Do you have to be in witness protection to live in Escondido, or can anyone reside there? Bogdan

Ah, well---- mine should have been sitting on the shelf from about the same period but when I went to get it to change my rear tire I couldn't find it. I'll have to check at the auto parts store to see if it is still made. Some where on one of my shelves buried in all the other junk sits a part of a gallon of Ruglide. Would have come in handy.
