Tire Mounting in Seattle

[jmgrif]

Late to the party? I just put PR 4 Gt's on today by myself using my No Mar Cycle Hill tool. Heated the tires in the living room window under the sun! I have found it is better to use liberal amounts of the lube provided by No Mar. I also use a couple of clamps that I would normally use when working with wood? They hold the tire into the center drop out? I have the Yellow thing and the extra hand but find the two extra clamps directing the tire into the drop centre made a great difference! Supposedly a stiff tire to mount?

I use an old Harbor Freight stand with a Mojolever and actually found the PR4s to be the easiest tire to mount that I've done lately. My previous bike was a Goldwing, and it was a test of will to get the rear tire mounted, so maybe the PR4s seemed easy in comparison. I use the Yellow Thing and like it a bunch. That NoMar lube is so slick it's almost too good
