    When I put tyres on my Stans rims as you've described one went on straight away with a track pump but the other needed a compressor at a friendly car garage to get it to seat. If you haven't put the sealant in yet then you could try a CO2 inflator thingy.

    Compressor makes it much easier…and soapy water or foam on rim and tyre to help all slide into place.

    Own a compressor. And not just one of those little tyre inflators they sell in B&Q, a proper one with a reservoir and decent airflow. Makes it easy.

    Try to convince the seal that tubless is the future – point out the combined advantages of lower rolling resistances and an absence of pinch punctures, especially at low pressures. If none of the above work, try bribing with fish – should do the trick.
