Im trying to convert to tubeless. Im using tape and the rim strips from stans, but the slight increase in diametre is making my tyres pretty much impossible to get on. They were pretty tight already needing levers and a fair bit of elbow grease to get then on but now theres no chance. Im also worried that if I do manage to use some trick I wont be able to get them off and on when out on the trails. Any advice?

Have you got the correct rim strips? Do your rims actually need the rims strips, or do they just need tape?

You shouldn't need tape AND rim strips
