| Mar 11, 2015 at 14:06 | comment | added | Danny P | I created an account just so that I can show my appreciation and agree with the posted video above. First several tries ended with me breaking not one but two separate tire levers. When moving the bead of the tire into the groove I was able to put the entire tire on by hand! No lever necessary and in my case no need to tie down the tire at different points. One additional thing I would like to point out however is that since I have a narrow tire I had to inflate the tube slowly so that it would 'pop' back onto the sides. This ensured that I did not unevenly inhibit the rapid tube expansion and | |

Basically work the tire bead into the well of the rim on the opposite side of the last bit you're trying to get on. Easier to understand by watching the video. Use straps to hold the tire if you need to. This is easy and doesn't require other tools, and because the tire has more room to get on, you will avoid pinches. | |

| Jul 30, 2011 at 18:27 | comment | added | Colin Newell | Is it particularly cold where you are? I had a lot of problems with a tire last winter until I took the wheel indoors where the problem went away completely. | |

| Jul 2, 2011 at 17:52 | comment | added | Alessandro Cosentino | yeah, talc is a very good tip. +1 | |
| Jul 2, 2011 at 16:25 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | +1 for talc. It makes it easier to get the tire on (well, a little bit) and you're less likely to pinch the tube. I keep a small container of it in the basement work area. | |

| Jul 1, 2011 at 23:19 | comment | added | Alessandro Cosentino | thanks Neil, although I'd say "impossible" rather than "particularly troublesome" :( | |
| Jul 1, 2011 at 23:17 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | I edited your title to better reflect the question. Also, what size tires/rims are you working with? I assume skinny tires, 32 mm or thinner? Also, are these new tires? (As tires are removed and reinstalled, they tend to loosen up and this becomes less of an issue.) | |
