finish at the valve?

Definitely easier to finish opposite the valve not at the valve

I've been changing inner tubes for 25 years and only just found out it's about a million times easier if you start taking the tyre off and finish putting it on at the valve.
t'other way round, surely? The aim is not to be doing the difficult bit at the valve because you don't want to be mangling it. So you start taking a tyre off opposite the valve (the bit when you need levers, but start putting it back on at the valve (the bit when it's nice and easy).
Before you inflate the tube you should check that it's not pinched under the bead anywhere and push the valve in slightly because the thicker disc of rubber around its foot can more easily get trapped under the bead.
