depends...you tryin to put em on the new Mag wheels for zee projecto bike?
No, the rear Mag is a 6" so the 170 wouldn't fit. I'll either sell them for cheap or keep them for the 750.

I managed to break the beads on both tires, but my ghetto tire-irons aren't enough to get the rubber off.

More soapy water and slide the side opposite the tire iron into the groove of the rim.

^ that, especially the bit about sliding the bead down into the V of the rim.  I've changed tires on my TLS a few times with short little motion pro tire levers (8" IIRC).

Thanks for the suggestions, I used some WD-40 (saw it in a few videos and worked ok).

I'll have to get some good tire irons instead of the limp bizkits I have. Roll Eyes Anyone know where I can get them locally? I have Wed off and I'd like to get this stuff done quickly and without spending $50+ for 2nd day shipping laughingdp

Got the forks, the exhaust and rear shock off the bike. Don't ask me what I'm using as a rear stand laughingdp

Replaced the brake line on my CRF.  A guy is coming to buy it.  I told him I'd show him how to adjust valves so I'll do that with him tonight as well.  This weekend I think I'll go to the trials competition in Frederick and see if anyone has a trials bike for sale.   Evil  I also saw a 900ss/sp on advrider in Main that looked pretty cool and a one-way plane tickit is $95.  Waiting on high-res pictures.

Got an eye exam and they dilated my pupils using those drops. Man the f&^$ed up my vision. Gave me an excuse for not getting anything done at work this morning. Good thing I didn't ride the 900ss to the appointment, which was my original plan.

Aww, damn.  I got called once for local duty, but ended up not having to serve.  This past year, they summoned me for Grand Jury duty.  Holy crap.  I was sweating bullets when I had to go in and explain why I couldn't serve to the judge and others.  Serving on grand jury is like a full time job.

just tell them that you think anyone who is in court to begin with is naturally guilty by default, otherwise they wouldn't be there....they'll let you go real quick.
