    I'm no expert, but if your using inner tubes you should have little problem. Slip one side of your tyre over the wheel rim, feed the inner tube into the tyre cavity and insert the valve stem into the hole then slip the second side of the tyre onto the rim. Make sure all your inner tube is in the tyre cavity and pump it up to 10psi or so and pat aound the tyre circumference to ensure the tyre bead is located properly in the wheel rim. Hey presto - pump away to 40psi.....
