Why can't I get this new tyre on my bike?

The old one says 700 x 28 and the new one is 700 x 23, is the new one the wrong size?

It goes on but not with the inner tube

Your thumbs need to htfu. Or use a lever. Are your rims quite wide? My mavic a719 touring rims have a min tyre size of 28mm because of the width.

Also, what rims? Perhaps your rim is 24mm?

I dont know they are the charge ones on a charge freestyler, do i need a smaller inner tube or something?

What inner tube you've got there? Use one which goes up to 23mm then (700c 18-23). The old one is probably bigger (700c 25-28mm) - you'll pinch it with levers.

Check the inside width of the rim with a ruler/tape measure just in case. Like Edmunro said, touring rims will be wider. Although the standard Charge deep section rims should be regular width inside.

PM Edscoble for some handy tips.

Exactly. Is the tyre Randonneur by any chance? :-)

I also think its the innertube size that get you the problem

continental home trainer tyre

man

the

fuck

up

yeah, to be fair i think its the combination of a stiff training tyre and weak thumbs.
get some tyre levers.

the reason is because you are a little bitch.

I got fuckin levers, maybe it's because i havent a clue wtf im doing?

look up a tutorial on youtube or something. it really isnt that hard.
put the innertube in the tyre and pump it up a tiny little bit so it retains some shape and stays in the tyre. then apply to rim...

oh

thats how i do it at least...
if my 16 year-old thumbs can put a tyre on a rim then im sure you can. it really isnt hard. it does vary with your rim and tyre combination though, some combinations are a bit of a bitch.

the rim doesnt stay in the f'in tyre when u pump it up a bit, the inner tube is bloody huge

rim of innertube i mean
