OK so I am trying to get the rear tire off the old CX I am working on. Can't get the bead broken at all. the front came with some muscle and blocks of wood etc. The rear wont move, I cut the tire opne to look and the bead is stuck to the wheel like it was fused! never seen a tire stuck so bad. So any tips on how to get it off? any solutions I can pour in to soften the rubber without ruining the alloy? I tried prying at it with my irons and worked up a huge sweat and was starting to mark the rim so I quit before I borke something. I may have to take it to a shop with a bead breaker but I would rather not as I will be mounting my tires myself.
Any ideas would be appreciated
