Bought some panaracer comet hard pack. Front tyre went on ok but can’t get the last section of rear tyre on - right end edges off as I lever left end in. Never struggled with this before - any suggestions?
Thanks
Velcro strap or reusable cable tie and work towards it.
Try and push the bead of the tire already on the rim to the middle of the rim to create some more slack?
Tyre in channel in rim. Bring it indoors to warm it up. Soapy water or silicone spray to help slide it on. Strong fingers
And start opposite the valve. Work the bead into the well of the rim to both the left and right at the same time, when it goes tight, go back to the start and repeat. This should release enough slack to make the job a lot easier, you may need to lever the very last bit, but it's very rare that I need to resort to it using this method.
Thanks all. Tyre on.
