Love you. You saved my day. I started to hate the tire, the bike and the cat that was around. Spend at least half an hour and was ready to give up on Schwalbe forever. And then I found your video. 2 minutes and done! Thank you so much!

Great tip - I also put the tyres in the sun for awhile and let the rubber soften up - helped a treat along with the cable ties

I just bought and installed 700 x 35c Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on my 2017 Specialized Crossroads, which came with 700 x 45c Borough Black Belt tires. While those tires were OK, and I didn't get any flat in them, I felt they were way too wide, and were hard to get the front tire and rim off the bike to transport it in my 2016 Honda CR-V. So, after watching numerous videos and hearing the same old thing about how hard these tires are to mount on your rim, I still bought them anyway. I've seen videos where people use straps, zip ties, and other things they think they need to mount them on your rims. I've even seen a cyclist from the UK carry a small tube of "Fairy Lube" in his bike saddle bag, and uses it to mount the last bit of tires onto his rims. I'm here to tell you that you don't need any "Fairy Liquid", straps, zip ties, nor anything else. Just follow this very simple procedure and you will not have any trouble installing these tires, nor any other, to your nice rims. 1. Remove old tires and innertube. 2. Put a partially inflated inner tube inside of the new tire. 3. Insert the valve from the inner tube into the hole in the rim, making sure the valve is sitting at a 90 degree angle. 4. Working from the valve onward, install one side of the tire onto the rim. This should be very easy to do. 5. With the partially inflated inner tube inside the tire, make sure it is completely inside the tire evenly, and does not expose at all to prevent a pinch flat. 6. Work the tire by pinching both sides of the tire with both hands as deep as you can into the well of the rim. 7. As you approach the point where the tire is tight and has no slack, then go back around the tire, again starting at the valve, and push down on the top of the tire with both hands so the tire bead is well inside the rib. 8. As you work your way around, you should have enough slack to fit that last bit of tire onto your rim without having to use a tire lever, zip ties, straps, "Fairy Liquid", nor anything else. 9. Once you have both beads inside of the rim, stand your tire straight up and down, and on the floor, and work your hands around the tire and rim one more time to make sure the bead is inside the well of the rim. 10. At this point, you can start to inflate your tire, and there shouldn't be any place on the tire that is bulked up or wobbling. 11. Put your wheels back on your bike, and inflate your tire to the spec on the sidewall. 12. Take a test ride before heading out too far from your house. 13. If all goes well, you've succeeded to putting the tire onto your rim. Remember, the key point is to make sure that the tire and tube are pushed as far into the wheel well as you can get it. I actually stood my wheel and tire straight up and down on the floor and used my body weight to push down firmly. I rotated the tire and wheel just enough to get both hands on the tire and repeated the process. Oh, and by the way, never use the kitchen countertops to change your tires. If you're married, you'll end up in the "Dog House" for sure!! I don't listen to any fairy tales people put on RU-vid regarding how hard something is. If it's hard, they're doing it the wrong way. Remember, "believe none of what you heard, and half of what you see".

@benedictearlson9044
@benedictearlson9044 3 месяца назад
That works for most tyres, and may work for SMP's depending on your rim size and ambient temps, but believe me that process is what I tried for 30mins before getting out the metal tyre levers and fighting it all the way. Straps seem a good idea. I've been changing tyres for 30 years.

I toured 5000+ kilometers on Schwalbe Marathon plus and had 1 puncture. Comparing to my previous "default" tyres that came with the bike 1 puncture every 100km on average (when touring I ride on tarmac and gravel surfaces and a combination of both, usually tough) . I don't think I'll ever use different tyres on my bike. Thanks for the feature.

Want an even easier method for installing Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires? Get to the point shown at the beginning of this video, BUT THEN go back to opposite side, pinch the tire to slip the bead down into the "valley" of your rim (instead of up on the clincher lip). This temporary move frees up more circumference for you to work with!

Works with _normal tyres_ but these Marathons have far harder beading......this is the best method i've seen so far.

Schwalbes can be stubborn to mount, I agree. And trouble, punctures never happen in the most ideal circomstances but when it's dark, cold, rainy, unpaved roads and so on. My trick to put the tyre back is to start mounting on the valve side, work your way , simultanously away of the valve, than, turn the wheel so that the unfinished part points away from you and use your full handpalm to turn it over the rim. Works by me. Happily punctures are rare on Schwalbes.

P.S. Don't waste a zip tie by cutting it! Learn how to use the pointy end to "release" it instead, by slipping it into the catch mechanism from behind. This lets the zip tie slip out freely, to reuse!

Same here. Just put the 'E' version of these on a 29" hybrid emtb.I got them on no problems, but I found that the new tyres seemed quite deformed before I even put them on which concerned me. One was worse than the other. I know they are seated properly as the very inner thin barred strip the sits flush to the rim is perfect all round. Tube is also good. The reflective stripe on the outside is not even though. I don't have any vertical bumps, just a slight side to side wobble on both wheels. I don't know what to do!

I still ride on the most stubborn biketyres in the world, named Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Hard to mount or to take off in the very seldom case of a flat. But, I discovered a new tool to do the job: the 'Tyre Glider'. See the video's on RU-vid. After a few times trying I manage the job in about 20 sec to dismount and mount or replacing an old by a new (even more stubborn) tyre. And no, I am not sponsored. I bought it through internet by the manufacturer/inventor in Wales, paid around 12 Euro for the product and 9 Euro for shipping so far a fair price and perfect shipping/delivery. But because of BREXIT I had to import it in the EU and paid another 23 euro on importtaxes. So in total it cost 44 Euro. Now you understand why I hate Farage, Johnson and the Brexiteers, but, I have a fantastic tool to tame the German Schwalbe.

My wheels must be slightly too big as there is absolutely no way I can get my tyres on using this method! I did it eventually but it was a real battle. Probably an hour of wrestling with the flippin things. Have to say though, it's worth the battle. Had one puncture in a year, whereas I used to have them regularly with normal road tyres.
