Too tyred to turbo
I have just lost the the best part of the evening, two inner tubes and the most of the skin on my knuckles fitting a new trainer tyre to a old Campg Vento rim.
In the end it took me, my wife, four tyre levers and an uninterrupted monologue of expletives to complete the operation. As a result the planned turbo session was rescheduled for tomorrow.
I don't usually have this much hassle fitting tyres but I remember this wheel always being a pain to fit tyres to, and this combined with the material of the turbo tyre made it a Sisyphean task. If anyone knows a quick knuckle-safe trade secret on fitting a tyre I would love to hear about it.

Hello
Could you review our video series about the young couple who successfully cycled the 17,000Km from Oxford (UK) to Sydney (Australia).
Rather than damage the climate by flying, they chose to travel from one side of the world by bicycle & cargo ship.
Please check it out. We will be releasing new episodes each week for about 3 months.You can also embed a free player about the Bike 2 Oz video series in your blogs?
