Hi
I have recently purchased a pair a Schwalbe Nobby Nics 26x2.1 tubeless. For some reason i am having massive difficulty putting them on the rim. Never had a problem before and done it hundreds on times over. The tyres are not faulty and are the correct size and in the process I have snapped tyre levers trying to get them on. Usually I dont need levers.

Anyone else had similar issues putting tyres on it is driving me mad!!

Thanks

S

    just make sure they are in the well when getting the last bit over.

    it is a good refresher.

    He is a dude, although even with his clear instructions I am having some thumb numbing moments. Cant understand it, I have taken tubeless off Bontrager Mud X and put them back on no problem at all. arrrggghhhhh
