The kind of tires makes a helluva difference too I think. I had a fold-up Vittoria? I think, that was a total bear to get on, using the drop center, talc, soapy water and everything. I switched over to a set of Michelin Dynamics, and they slide on like they are buttered, don't even have to use the palm of your hand. Perhaps it has to do with the bead stiffness?
