chiangmaiexpat Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 How about just trying to fit one? This should answer the question rather quickly. CM-Expat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Folding tires: No problem at all, you can mount them by hand. Wired tires: You should mount them with the help of two, better three at least 10 cm long tire levers (http://www.giant-bicycles.com/_generated/_generated_us/parts/products/images/2000/95028_100pc_100pc_100pc_100pc_72dpiWIDE.jpg). Don't try it without them, you'll most probably damage something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chonburiram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi, black fox, If it was me who sold you the tyres, my offer to take them back still stands... just give me a call... or PM... or response here... otherwise, rebos advice with 3 levers is spot on...

CNXBKKMAN Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Go to Spa Cycles Harrogate UK website. They have a video showing you how to fit Marathon tyres without tyre levers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
