How the hell is any normal person suppose to fix a puncture in there.
Not just bending any normal tyre tool (of various types) to get it off.
And then being and snapping your best levers not getting it back in.
You then resort to various long flat bladed screwdrivers, ripping all the paint of the rims.
And then finding your portable vice to clamp the bastard in place to get the fecker on.
Ffooks sake.
So what's the "in the know" nack for these.
Quick easy and simple that any disabled person could do?
For next time.
We always used the squarish blue Schwalbe tyre levers on the wheelchair Marathon+.
The Schwalbe levers have really small hooks that can be wedged under the bead onto the rim, and a cutout to allow them to be locked onto the spoke.
Just one lever first, then slipped another right next door into the small gap where the bead rises out of the well and crosses the rim edge.
Then another, and another...sometimes needed all 3 levers to get enough bead over the rim to release the tyre.
Shuffle the tyre over to one side, remove the inner and repeat to remove the other bead from the rim.
Getting them back on required getting the beads into the rim well as much as possible. Wedge the clip (on the other end to the hook) into the rim to stop the tyre walking back off (or a toe strap or large zip tie around the tyre and rim, resting against a spoke), then working towards the clip with one lever in each hand. Lever a few inches of tyre on, hold it, switch hands, lever with the next lever, remove the first and repeat.
Those MBL wheels are notoriously oversized (I think it is a legacy of their involvement with Innova who made the polyurethane foam solid tyres which needed as tight a fit as possible...and the rubber Hermanns or Velox cloth rim tapes that they fit don't help.
We always replaced these thick rim tapes with some wafer thin Ritchey WCS self-adhesive nylon cloth tape. Tubeless rim tape would probably do a similar job quite well these days.
