So I just bought a trainer for my bike. Problem is I need to install training tire for my back wheel. I can change a wheel no problem but this yellow wheel from hell is impossible to put on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
>>>/n/ will be better equipped to help you out. Are the forks too narrow?
You don't have to use the training tire. if you have a road tire that will work fine but it will slip every so often. If you can't get it on yourself, get a cycle shop to do it for you.
This is where I'm at :/

It's a cross so it has some knobs, they will get ruined over the next few months unfortunately.

And I'll check with /n/ thanks.
Work the slack from the rest of the tire around to the part that still needs to go over. It's hard to tell that there's slack, but there is.
Aside from that, since you're probably not in a bike shop and therefore have no metal tire levers, you may need to improvise with a screwdriver. Try not to, though; the rage if you fuck up the tube will be immense.

Do you have tire levers? Have you ever changed a tire before?

Ah the last couple of inches are allways a bitch, just take it slow with the tire levers on each side.

This dude has good advice, put the part that you're trying to get over the rim against your chest and grab at the opposite sides with both hands and slowly try to pull the slack to the last part of the tire.

Yes I have levers but they are really thick. I've never installed a trainer tire before though and didn't think it would be that tough.

Its the same as a normal tire not to hard to do. Put one lever in then lever in the bit right next to it. Remove the first lever and repeat

This but I've always used a butter knife instead of a screwdriver.
I got it, thanks for the help on that slack. I was able to pull it toward me and roll it over, it was tough.
