Removed the Front Wheel for Tire Change - Pic

[Lotsokids]

Kind of primitive, but effective.
Don't worry, the strap is around the frame, not the handle bars.

Had a garbage Continental tire on it that got really worn. I brought a new Pirelli back from the U.S. that the shop will be mounting and balancing.

I don't remember what type of rear tire I have, but it seems like a hard compound. It's lasted a long time, but has broken free a few times when I whack the throttle. <-- White knuckle moments.
