So I have my CycleOps Fluid 2 Turbo and got myself Continental Turbo Tyre. I removed my old tyre (As I plan on using my old wheels as turbo/training wheels and purchasing some new ones for race) and slowly managed to get the first side of the Turbo tyre on, slipped the inner tube in and then, disaster.... after fighting with the tyre for a long long time I couldnt get it on.... dont know why... in the process managed to pinch two inner tubes.... [:@]
Ive given up now, hoping I can get some advice on how to get this tyre on!
I have some cheap Shimano 500 (i think?!?) wheels which are 622 x 15c, the tyre is 700 x 23c, these should fit together.
Any Clues?
Also, does anyone know of any good tyre levers as I managed to break mine tonight? [:D]
Thanks
Samuel

When i was looking around i kept coming up with people who'd had this problem!.
As i'm crap - no cluesless about changing tyres -(training required!) i took it straight to the local bike shop and 5 mins and a couple of quid later - done!
Suggested the same.

I solved it by laying the tyre on a heater 4 5-10 mins to warm it a little bit, its still harder than a regular tyre to get on but it makes it a lot easier!
I had a bit of a struggle to get it on and it still doesn't look like it's seated properly but seems to work fine on my trainer
I think Im going to take it down to CycleSurgery tomorrow and ask them to do it, I cant be bothered to fight with it anymore.
