anyone really struggle getting tyres on wide rims?
Ive never had a puncture in 3000+ miles which if this expericence is anything to go by very fucking lucky.
I just spent 40 mins removing a tyre, putting on an old tyre to use on the turbo. I then went to swap back and have spent the last hour bleeding and sweating trying to get the tyre back on. Ive snapped 2 tyre levers, mashed 2 inner tubes and still dont have the tyre on.
What am I doing wrong??
