Got up this morning to go for a bike ride for the first time in ages. Pumped up my back tyre and found that had perished so had to buy new one. *sigh* Bought some semi-slicks which should be easier to ride than the huge chunky ones I had on before. I fought the rear tyre on and found that I had screwed up the direction of rotation so had take it off again.



It should not matter much as far a direction.<br /> It's not like you will pedal @ 100kph/63mph.<br /> But I understand that you want to get it right.

Agreed, especially if they are 'semi-slicks.' Some, however, have side-treads that throw of water a particular way. That might make a difference. Or, you could learn to ride backwards; the front wheel is easier to swap.
