having a heck of a time getting new tires on
Hate to come on here with this problem but I could used some advise.
I don't think I have ever had this much trouble with tires before.
I broke a lever yesterday after a fierce battle.
I am using two levers, one to hold the bead on one side and one on the other side to inch it along onto the wheel. It is taking me well over 10-15 minites to get one tire on and the tube is usually trashed and will not hold air. Very frustrating.
I am worried if I flat out on a ride I could be really stuck.
Options:
1-Set them up tubeless - No thrashing the tube, still could have to deal with a tube out on a ride
2-Just get rid of them, not worth the effort stress - I have acess to lots of tires
3-can a clincher be stretched a bit? I have done this when mounting a tubular.
Thanks in advance
