Hi Guys,
Can anyone give me a hand fitting a tub please? I have the glue etc but would rather learn from an experienced set of hands rather than trying it for myself for the first time.
Also need a hand with a new cassette as I dont currently have a chain whip or cassette tool
Best wishes

I have a chain whip and various cassette tools (including Shimano MTB - same as road?). Have only ever ridden clinchers so can't help with the tubs.

I've also got a pretty comprehensive toolset, but can't help with the tubs I'm afraid.
As an aside to this thread, would it be worth us having a thread or a list of who has which tools to assist other members who are maybe less well equipped in the workshop?

I can help with both but am not available until Saturday evening.
Trick is to wait for the glue to get sticky; tyre slightly inflated and then apply pulling/stretching the tyre round. The trick is to build up a good amount of glue on the rim including the edges/lips of the rim.
