G'day Colin,

Great to see pictures of more fantastic work. It will be good to see both the 25's together.

I think you need to take the credit for getting us motivated on some of our gear - it's all your fault, but I am glad we're doing something!!

Catch up and talk to you soon.

Darian.

I have some tough tyres on rims before but these take the cake. I tried the big vertical press first and that broke the bead on the circlip side (about 2 hours) another hour to get the clips and rings off and thats where the press stopped. Lats resort was the backhoe. I put the tyre under the jack and chained the rim to the bucket and pulled and pulled. (you won't stop me you bastards)YOU WILL COME OFF.
