I have a set of wheels built up around Sun-Ringle Assault rims. My first tires--Kenda Kalientes--went on with a lot of trouble, but I could at least get them on.
Next up, Maxxis Re-Fuses went on, with slightly less trouble, but still not easy at all.
Last week, I tried a pair of Vittoria Diamante Pros, even took them to the LBS to ask for help, and they were absolutely a no-go. So, I got some Panaracer Evo 3s, and it's the same deal. Tried for an hour, thumbs bruised and skinned, and there's no way in hell they're going on.
So, WTF? Is this a common occurrence, or did I just get a really POS set of rims?
