1 dont use levers. u will puncture the tube.
2 get the tube bedded on the rim by putting a bit of air in it.
3 get most of the tyre on.
4 for the last little bit. let the air out. you should be working at 180 degrees to where the valve is.
5 use a little fairy liquid on the rim.
6 push on the sidewall of the tyre. not the bead.
7 get a friend to help. four hands are better than two.
8 it is a bit tricky. but they do go on. me and my mate did one on thurs.
9 be patient.
10 good luck.
