after major struggles and unsuccessful attempts at getting a dh tire onto a
rim using my hands and tire lever, i have had good success mounting dh tires
onto a rim by having the wheel lying horizontal on the floor and working the
tire onto the rim with my hands, starting from 12 oclock , and then using my
feet (wearing my 5-10 shoes or hiking boots with a tough sole) to wrestle the
last bit over the rim at 6 oclock, working and keeping the tire into the
middle of the bed as i go.
a little hard to describe more accurately, but hopefully this helps.
a tire that has been warmed up in the sun seems to be easier to mount.
