AI6YR BenBike repair tip of the day: if you need to remove or attach new rubber handles on a bicycle, Windex (or other slippery window cleaner) is your friend. The solution makes things slippery so you can attach/remove things, but then evaporates. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/bikerepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bikerepair</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/bikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bikes</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Maxwell (it/its)Today, took tires off my Trek and installed the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires intended for my e-bike, and had the chance to directly compare them to the Continental Gatorskin that I had installed on the front:The Marathon Plus is tight, but not extremely so. It went on without much complaint.The Gatorskin is verging on absurdly tight. Removing the tire is tricky: I ended up sticking several (heavy-duty!) tire levers between the bead and rim before attempting to lever it out.I have better hopes for the Gatorskin fitting my e-bike.<a href="https://meow.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/BikeRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeRepair</a>

Maxwell (it/its)Cycling fedi, I want 700x32-37c / 32-37-622 tires, and I want them very tight.I want the tires you couldn't install on your wheels without heavy-duty tire levers or other special tools.I want tires that are durable on asphalt and preferably puncture-resistant.For me, these were my 700x32c Continental Gatorskins on my old Trek, which is what I'm going to try next on my e-bike, however sub-optimal this choice might be.But I want to know what tight tires you've wrangled in the past, and which would be most recommended.<a href="https://meow.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/BikeRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeRepair</a>

Maxwell (it/its)I'm having trouble installing a 700x35c Schwalbe Marathon Plus tire (replacing an OEM 700x45c Pirelli Cinturato Adventure) on the front wheel of my Ride1UP Roadster V3.The problem is the opposite of what I was expecting: The tire is loose and I can't get the bead to sit in the rim. These tires have a reputation for being difficult to fit because they're too tight.I could use some bike repair tips, if anyone has experience installing a tire on a rim that might actually be a bit too small.<a href="https://meow.social/tags/BikeRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeRepair</a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cycling</a>

AI6YR Ben<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> question: what's the technical specs (i.e. ordering specs) on the 3/8 inch, 26 TPI thin bolts used on mountain bike axles (used to lock the cone in place)? Maybe more vintage, but all the 1990's through 2000's MTBs seem to have the same ones. Trying to order them from either McMaster, or open to other sources (which are NOT $5 per bolt). (trying to fix a bike that has one missing lock bolt... so the cone basically could move wherever!)Update, this is certainly 26 TPI as I measured it with a gauge, thanks <a href="https://mastodon.radio/@W6KME" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@W6KME</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeRepair</a>
