ok i guess i needed a work out and thanks to the asshole previous owner of my bike i got one.
i let all the air out of the tube. loosened the rim lock. put the rim spoke side down. Pushed on the tire to break the bead. put the tire iron in and started to try and get leverage and WTF is this... the tire iron would not budge and felt like it was gonna snap in half. So i check the internet and DBA chat for advice. all stuff i pretty much already know. I try hitting the tire with a hammer as i think maybe the bead is not broke yet. Nope it is.... i do much investigation on the tire and notice that right where the rim lock is it feels hard as a rock. Im having my son hold a screw driver to let the air out as i jump on the tire thinking well maybe not all the air is out.
NOTHING is WORKING.... finally with some coazing from DBA chat i decide fuck it im just gonna cut this tire off as its done anyway. so cutting away i go. I only had to cut the tire about half way before that gave enough so that tire irons had enough leverage to get the tire off.
So tire is off and this is what i notice....
WTF it is completely cut and its holding its shape with no air in it.
Notice how thick this tube is....
then i remember i could hear something moving around in my tire when i spun it so i look into the tire first for dirt or rocks or something and there is nothing... so i shake the tube and i hear what sounds like marbles in there... so i poor them into my hand...
So DBA WTF kind of tube was this? and i dont care how good on flats they are im NEVER putting that SOAB in to my tire.
Thanks for the work out asshole previous owner.

I dont think i want to put one of those in anyway. Seriously it was about to bend my rim or snap the tire iron if i was to try any harder then i was.
