I feel surprisingly a lot better after the above rant . Thankyou. I love you all.
Ahhhhh...the classic ambrosio rim dilemma. Conti tires? Kevlar beads are usually a little easier. Steel levers FTW!
You may want to mount the new tires on another rim..pump em up to max...leave em overnight and then try again. The tires will stretch ever so slightly and make it a bit easier on ya.
