[ "Tyre Fitting: It's Not as Difficult as You ThinkNew tyres are fitted at the end of long, thin metal poles inserted into the rim. It takes a few seconds for the tyre bead to snap into place. You know this because you can hear it, and if you're quick enough, see it too! The noise is created by the air pressure in your tyre forcing itself against the sidewall. And if you look closely as the tyre is being fitted, you'll see how far out from its final position it has to be pushed before it finally pops over the rim edge. Once fitment is complete, give your new tyres a gentle tug with both hands to ensure they're not going anywhere anytime soon. An adequately fitted tyre should remain without chucking your hands off the bars.Where to Fit New Tyres?A common question we get asked is, "where should I fit my new tyres?". As a general rule, it doesn't matter, as long as the air pressure is correct and no sharp objects could puncture them once installed. You can even install a tyre upside down if you want! However, most cyclists have an ideal position they would like their tyres fitted in, usually based on personal preference or what's been recommended by the bike shop from which they purchased their tyres. The downside to this approach is that a tyre may not sit well in its intended truing line if it's forced to another point on the rim of being allowed to naturally fall to the best position. You can read about how to re-true your wheels here if this sounds like you, but in general, it's best to avoid being too fussy with Cheap Tyres Newport placement.How To Fit Tyres Without A Fitting StationWhile not all bike shops fit tyres using proper tyre fitting stations (which are essentially long poles that lock into place, enabling you to remove and install the tyres without touching the rims), most of us don't own one either because they're expensive or take up space in our garages! So what to do when you need a new tyre fitted onto your rim? This is when tyre levers come in handy. If you have two, use one to unlock the lever from the other and insert it between your rim and tyre bead on one side of the wheel before using a third lever on its opposite side. Once the first side is done, you can do the same for the other side if they're different sizes.If you only have two tyre levers, try fitting half your tyre onto one spoke nipple hole before moving round to the next spoke nipple hole and repeating this process. When both halves are fitted around a spoke nipple, it's time to go back a bit and adjust everything into position so that when you squeeze both levers together, they lock over your rim edge without slipping off or causing any damage. You can then release one of them, turning it into a single lever which you can use to join the other side. Just make sure your levers are in line with each other when you finally lock them off - they should be close enough that there's no space between the rim and tyre, but not touching (or else they'll pinch your fingers).Sidewall DeformationIf you're readying yourself for an epic ride in extreme weather conditions or just need to carry extra luggage on your bike, it might be worth fitting heavy-duty tyres instead of slicks. As well as offering increased puncture protection over regular tyres, their additional sidewall strength means they won't deform too much under excessive loads. When we talk about sidewall deformation, we're talking about tyre bags and panniers, which add weight to the side of your bike, causing the tyre's sidewall to bow inwards. If you carry too much weight on this area for extended periods, it can cause severe damage to the tyres' structure over time - so avoid doing this if you want them to last!Bead SeatingTo keep your Goodyear Tyres Newport seated onto your rims properly, they must be installed correctly by hand. To make sure that both beads are inside your rim together when fitting new tyres, use one finger from each hand at either end of the tyre (at least 100mm away from where you're trying to fit it) to push them into place while pulling the tyre down and gently rotating it back and forth. They should sit on top of your rim without too much effort, but some tyres require more than others, so don't be afraid to get a little help from your levers if necessary. When you're finished, remember to check that both beads are securely attached to your rim before riding your bike!" ]
