That is pure genius.

I too had a wrestling match when I got my first 23 tire, and it blew up in my face because of pinching. Two things: One, have your LBS install them the first time. Most tires are really tight before their initial stretching (that's what she said). They are really good at it and if it pinches, it's not your fault.

Two, once it is in position, before inflating, you need to take both sides of the wheel and roll the tire over a bit all the way around so you can see the rim tape and make sure there is no tube visible under that and the tire.
