Protip: when replacing a wheel after a tyre or tube change, align the tyre so that the pressure info is above the valve. If you're getting someone else to work on your tyre or tube, ask them to do this!

It seems so obvious, but it's not standard practice. It just makes it so easier to find the recommended pressure when someone brings their bike in for an air top up.

Happy news, I often struggle with the narrow tyres, like the 25cs or Marathon Pluses, and usually need my boss to help, but I did several tube replacements yesterday without help!
