Thanks, I didn't know that, but living in Sweden, no sun here. Good tips otherwise.Mocs123 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 8:40 pmYou probably already know this but laying them out in the sun (yeah - probably not the time of year for that) or using a hair dryer can help. Also using soapy water, and lastly using a towel or gloves can help you mount tough tires without getting blisters. Continental GP5000's tend to be a bear on some rims though. I finally bought a tire mounting tool (Kool Stop) for use at home but I haven't had to use it yet.
I did use soapy water but that did almost nothing. I'm gonna order the Schwalbe fit mounting fluid and see if that helps.
The Kool Stop tool seems to work well but it seems like you have to clamp it to the other side of the rim and that will surely scratch the Hypers.
Gloves, hairdryer. I'll try that as well.
