I've been up since 6

Why the hell won't my brand new rubber queen 2.2 wire tyres go on my brand new flow ex rims?

Leave them. Do it tomorrow. There is no reason. Try again when you're not tired.

Make sure the beads sit in the recess in the centre of the rim as it will give you just enough slack to get them on

Oh and get folding ones

I know your pain - there is a technique as creamegg says. I start on opposite side of valve and make sure tyre is in the recessed middle of rim. It will go on easily you wont believe it... Promise...

And make sure your logo and valves are lined up from the start ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ideal thanks a lot guys tried the 180 method with the tyre in the centre and it worked a treat! Cant believe how much difference it makes.

Well done!

You can now s**** at everyone posting their stories of how getting tyres on to Stand rims is nigh on impossible.
