4 Broken Tire levers, 2 hours, lots of swearing.
In the end I gave up, went to the LBS and bought some Bontrager xxx lites.
Why are they so flippin tight and anybody got any tips for actually getting them on the rim.

put them on as much as you can, then leave them to stretch the bead slightly, then push on a little bit more and repeat until they're on.
Pray you don't puncture.
