Just bought a new orange indoor turbo Continental tyre for winter training. I'm trying to fit it to a clincher wheel.
Somewhat embarrasing to admit but I can't get the tyre to fit onto the wheel rim. It's never something I've done before as I've only ever had to change inner tubes.
I've tried fitting the sidewall of the tyre over the flange of the rim whilst doing so with both hands in opposite directions to eventually meet at the top by the valve stem. But I just cannot get the last bit of the tyre on. I've also tried using tyre levers but it's just impossible. My thumbs are quite blistered through trying!
The tyre I bought is definitely the right size (700x23C). Help!!
