Tyre removal

Hi
I recently got hold of one of these newfangled modern road bike wheels (very thin!). It had a vittoria rubino tyre already fitted which was a little bit past it. However I can't for the life of me get the tyre off. There's some metal beading which I can't seem to snap and I don't want to damage the rim. Is there any easy method of removing the wheel?
Many thanks
Nick

With perseverance - i used to have wire rimmed rubinos years ago and they were a b*tch to get on and offCarlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0

Yep - no way should you be able to get a tyre off without them. I did snap a few plastic levers IIRCCarlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0
