Man i could fit it smileys/smiley2.gif Just swear at it!

Na, on a serious note heres how to do it!

I take it has a inner tube in?

Put one side of the tyre compleaty onto the wheel, then put SOME air into the tube and push inside the tyre. Then what you need to do is starting AWAY OPPOSITE the valve work round towards it from both directions!

Should go on no problem, you could also use some lube to help it and a bike tyre lever!
