I tried to do a Conti 5000 TL (but with a tube) by hand and it took me about half an hour inside with warm hands. It was on that basis I decided these were not a good idea for ultra use in that config.
Presumably that was one that had already been pre-stretched when fitted to a rim by someone else who spent even longer on it...
Yeah, I still have it if you wanna swap back? :P
