Mounting From the Rear

[2015F6B]

Deflate the Max before trying to slip it into place. Use a pie tin to cover the wheel studs which will relieve any friction from sidewall/stud contact

Thanks, I read the pie tin trick on a previous thread but also remember someone saying it's a real squeeze or something to get the tire in. I guess I'll just have to find out the hard way.

I've read all these things about getting the tire in. I've had mine in and out 4 times with both the G Max and the Alpin. I air it up , put a little dish soap on the side wall. I tape my chrome rim. It goes right in.

Thanks Shooter, that's good news. I'm going to give it a go.

you can also put a plastic bag on the front part of the tribe as you push it home... really no big deal !!!

I'm only a mile or two down the street from you, and you've got my number....you ever need help just call and I can do all the heavy work for you

If I still have my bike after the warranty expires, I'd like to try that back tire option myself.

I'm still running on the original rear and it's actually holding up longer than I thought it would, I can feel that the rear is getting a flat area in the center now, but it still has plenty of tread left.

Keith,

Appreciate the offer, may take you up on that one day. I have a spare rear wheel but have not purchased the CT yet. My spare has a Dunlop Elite 3 on it which also has quite a few miles left on it. I'd like to get as many miles on these OEM MT's as possible before going to the dark side. I'm thinking that sometime this summer it will happen. I'll be in touch.
