Crotchet type rims and tyres…. How to get the tyre back on?
I have a crotched (hooked) rim, with a schwalbe smart Sam tyre (27.5”), and I managed to get it off the rim to repair a puncture, but now physically can not get it back into the hooks on the inside of the rim if that makes sense. I have tried the pinch and push method but all that’s done is cause bad friction burn on my thumbs and absolutely no result. I have about 70% of the tyre on the hooks but the last bits just won’t go in.. what can I do? (Before you say it, I don’t have the spare money to pay a professional bike shop to do it)
