tire/rim problem???

replacing rear tube... is there some sort of trick to putting the tire back on the rim? ive been fighting with it for awhile now and just cant get it.

bought a rear spring, UNI filter, and accouple tubes
i thought the rear spring would be the hardest but replaced the rear shock spring with no problem... i guess i was wrong

just got to fight it..its a pain especially if you don't have a tire machine...just use some screwdrivers but be very careful

You can use some soap/water solution to reduce the friction and allow it to slide over more easily. The sliding works both ways so it's a matter of taste... :p

you can actually do it without taking the tire all the way off the rim, just one side, using screwdrivers like tire spoons
