Morning All
Hope y'all cool and groovy
My new tyres arrived today so set to work to get them fitted onto my wheels however quite frankly I'm bu;;ered If I can get them on :?
Does anybody have any advice on how to fit tyres as I never had this ammount of grief before. The tyres are Geax Lobo Loco 2.3's going onto Mavic XM719 rims.

Can`t be as hard to get on as my new road bike tyres were last week!
Strong thumbs and bigger tyre levers are the answer.I find partial inflation of the tube can help a little too.2006 Giant XTC

Sorry forgot to mention its a tubeless set up. Its certainly looking beyond my lil' plastic Park levers. I had thought about maybe putting the tyre into hot water in an attempt to soften the rubber to make fitting easier :?
Any body done this?0
