I bought a used set of campy Neutrons that came with some 23mm Gatorskin wire bead tires. I will bow in submission to whoever got those on in the first place, but I wanted them off. I started by using tire levers and after a few close calls on the razor sharp bladed spokes, I started thinking about what I'd say in the ER while holding my severed fingers in my good hand. I got out my heavy gage wire cutters, the ones I use on 4/0 wire, and cut the tires into pieces until I could pry up the wire beads and cut them. Dodged a bullet there.

Well, OK, maybe it's a bit of you as well.
Riding 3 out of 4 fixed gears, perhaps we could ride together one in four rides.
But, the gear inches might be a deal killer.
