Hi! Martin.
Make sure the tyre is well deflated. Use tyre levers to get both sides off
the bead land.
Undo all the bolts making sure you note where the valve assembly fits and
the valve neck exits.
Re-assemble loose, lightly inflate the tube close the bolts up finger tight,
let out the air, prise the beads well back by deforming the tyre by hand
and ensure there's no part of the tube trapped. Tighten up the bolts fully
Regards

split rim as per the Europa ( does it just need brute force?) and would like
to know if anyone has any hints and tips for getting the rims apart and not
catching the tube on the refit.
