Help please with tire change

Hi mate

I'm certainly no expert, but I recently found myself in the same situation with my Tenere. I had a mate (who changes HEAPs of flats on their trail bikes) show me what to do. Even with his full on workshop & decent levers, we really struggled with the hard compound tyre. After shredding two new tubes, I took the wheel to a workshop & had them throw another tube/tyre on with their machine.
After that it was running rough & I took it to my regular bloke. He said the tyre was rooted, probably on the other bloke's machine (he used to work there too & said it was a worn out heap of crap). I ordered a new tyre (Pirelli Scorpion Trail - I love it)., & all's good now.

Don't know if this helps, but hope it does a bit.
