Ok, #1- .Diameter is less in the center that at the edges. That makes
sense. #2 I'm not sure I get. By motorcycle grip you mean twisting the
throttle?
#3 doesn't seem to be a problem. It isn't the tube that cause me grief
except preventing me from using a screwdriver.
I was very good on yesterday's second flat. I pushed up on the bead
(towards the rim) with a tire iron thing while pulling the top (tread)
of the tire. It popped right on. Perhaps that freezing saliva helped a
bit also.
