Well after waiting a week for the new tire to arrive its finally here and installed. The tire arrived Friday night and went on with minimal effort. I had to pick up a special tool to remove the front axle. Its actually a 22 mm hex shaped tool from Motion Pro. Then removing the the front brakes the front wheel fell right out. Working the bead with some soapy solution to aid the old tire slipping off and the new tire slipped right on. The only problem arose when trying to get the bead of the tire to pop onto the rim. Even with what I thought was a pretty sturdy burst of air from a neighbors air compressor the bead still didn't pop on so its off this morning to have a tire shop give it a try.
Tire is all mounted and its time for breakfast!
