In the right thread this time.
I got some new wheels from my lbs, and new Vitoria Corsa tyres to fit to them
I started to try and fit them at 6pm
It is now 9pm
I have changed tyres before, I have put on new tyres before, it takes some muscle but they go on
I shit you all not, these tyres will not go on this wheel, I've tried everything, soapy water, starting at the valve, warming them
These things will not go on this wheel
I even tried putting the older tyres on the wheel I rode home on? Bike man just popped these on with his hands?! They won't go on the wheel.
Has anyone got any advice on how to get these on my wheel because I'm about to take up using an electric scooter.
As thepeginator pointed out in the other thread I'm double checking the tyre is in the "well", still struggling greatly
