I know plenty of people who've managed without problems so it's probably a combination of rim and tyre (possibly technique although I've got plenty of experience changing tyres).
In theory you shouldn't need to take the tyre off by the side of the road as you can just plug bigger holes from outside as long as you make sure to keep sealant topped up.
I can't even get one bead onto my rims let alone two. Could take them to a shop to fit but for the £25-30 they would charge , I think I'll just go back to Schwalbe's.
