I forgot how much I dislike replacing bike tires. My hands are not strong enough to pull a tire over alone. Which explains why my rear tire was so worn the casing was peeking through.

@edd do you have a v-shaped rim? There is a trick.

@szakib No. I just grab my tire levers and pray none of the bead slips out 😅

@edd I cannot really imagine what you are doing, but if you need more force than you have (or break tyre levers), you are probably doing something wrong.

@szakib It's just the last little bit of the second bead that's kind of a pain to get in on a tire that hasn't been taken in and out a bit. I'm not breaking tire levers by any means, it's just an annoying process.

@edd some combos of rim and tire (brand) can ve a real pain. Maybe try a different brand of tire?

@ReneDamkot @CyclesSmiles Yea, these were a temporary set anyway while I get tires I'm actually looking to try. Lightly used for cheap to get rid of the tire that was mostly casing at this point.
