I could have done, but I wanted to get in practice for changing them without damaging them, so that if I need to repair punctures in Africa, I'll be able to do so.

The second one was easier than the first.  I think I'll get me another couple of tyre levers though, that might make it more straightforward.

I was thinking of popping down to Bagshot Tyres, but they use those funky machines which make it so much easier.  At least now I know what I'm doing, it shouldn't be a problem in future.  And yes, fairy liquid turned out to be the key to success!

I was sort of expecting to have to pay to get rid of them.  Or could find a farmer or a boat owner!
