Sir_Hops_Alot Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Get a spanner with a rounded end, slip it into the tyre and pop it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Just go to your LBS and buy some tyre levers, they are like £1 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Make sure the rest of the tyre is in the well of the rim, new tyres tend to be a bit tight on the rim anyway so you can put a bit of force behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_addison Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Have you tryed boiling a kettle and pouring it on the bead where its hard to get on. It'll soften the bead making it more flexible and easyier to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
