did my first tyre change(ever) of the rear e07. was tougher than I thought but got it on  and off in the end. i used what i think is andy660's two lever tyre set that worked a charm to break the bead and as a bonus fits under my seat. i have also been driving around with 3x c02 bombs in my toolkit since day 1, needless to say it took 5 to get the tyre seated and ended at 2.5 bar. need to get a compressor as carting around 10 just seems silly.

going to chuck the old tyre away unless somebody has some use for it. it's pretty finished 2-3mm in the center. see below. collect only - cpt
