Put one edge of tyre on in middle of rim.
Put inner tube in.
Start from opposite valve and start putting tyre edge back on rim.
Work way around to valve last
When it gets tight, go back around rim and make sure tyre edge is in middle of rim as its shallower so less circumference
Pull tyre from opposite valve so it's stretched around rim so you get more tyre near valve
Now put on tyre at valve. Use thumbs to push it over. Can be a bitch.
