Folding Tire too Tight for Rim
Hi all,
I tried this for probably 20 minutes with all the strength I can muster. Basically trying to pull on a Deda Tre RS corsa folding clincher 700 x 23c onto my HED Jet road rims. Folding tires are nice but new ones are difficult to mount. I have never had so much difficulty in the past with any tire than this one. When it came in the box, it was nice and pancake flat and I wondered how it'll ever attain the round shape. What I tried doing so far is to get the tire on the rim without the tube and leaving it on there for sometime to "stretch out". But the tube is going to be hard as hell because I don't see any space for it to get in there anyway. Whats the "pro" technique here, bleeding hands and skill or any less gory way out? B.D |
