Tire change and pics of rim

The two piece rims are a unique feature of the MZ. I decided to take some picture of it's construction during my tire change yesterday. It takes more effort to get the tire onto the wheel & maybe a bit more PSI to seat the bead. Michelin Pilot Road 4 now resides on the back. I inherited it from a Ducati friend who bought it in a pinch, but replaced it as soon as he got back from his trip with a matched set. Maybe 500 miles on it. My previous tire still had some life in it, but not enough for the inspector. (Although it wasn't at the wear bar yet.)
