Mounting Vittoria Open Corsa's
Just got my pair of Open Corsa's in the mail. Am I just incredibly weak, or is mounting these on Shimano R550 wheels insanely difficult?

The best technique is to use the balls of your palm (where the thumb connects) to roll on the remaining portion. Also, deflate the small amount of air that you put in the tube (or should put in) after the tub e is in place.
