[QUOTE="Michael Vane-Hunt, post: 116371, member: 1067"] I have completely given up trying to change tyres and take the wheel to a motorcycle shop and put a new tyre, tube, and rim tape each time, usually once a year. I have alloy Sun rims, use Roadriders, never used clamps, never had a tyre move on the rim. I have put a strip of duct tape over the spoke nipples under the rim tape.Like most riders here I put the stem lock nut up under the cap. If I have a flat while on a ride I make sure Robert Watson is on the same ride because he can fix a flat any where, any time. [/QUOTE]
