Ok, I got the front tire replaced with the Kenda Cursor. That was a much better experience this time. I did like I did when I put the stock tire back on after that disaster of a tire attempt by having the tube inside and lightly inflated. I used a hair drier to soften the rubber and sprayed the beads. Use a bike/motorcycle tier bar on part to get it started and at one point just my hands. It is back on, had to adjust the brake unit on the wheel to reposition the brakes and it spins freely with no noise. I used the original tubes that have the Flat out in them and saving the 2 I bought for future if needed. I am very happy so far with the results. I will do the other tomorrow. My wife came home tonight instead of tomorrow and complained of the rubber smell (due to heating the tire etc) so told her I would finish tomorrow. My 26 x 4 knobby tires that came on the bike only have 60 miles or so on them and no punctures as I rode on street mostly so will keep them until I get to test ride the bike at some point this week then she wanted me to sell them. I may keep them in the box the Kenda’s came in for future used. You never know what tomorrow brings.
