Joined The Darkside Today

I finally got around to installing my cartire today. I did it myself and it was quite a chore getting the new tire on the rim. With the very stiff sidewalls it was hard getting the bead over the rim, I finally got it on with my brothers help and thought it was all downhill from there. However the bead didn't want to seat properly for me, so after multiple attempts I took it to the tire shop to see what they could do. He had no better luck than I did, but after inflating it to 140 psi he finally got it to seat, I stood way back for that one! He said that once in a while you get a real stubborn one. I got it mounted on the bike but then it started raining so I'll have to try it tomorrow and see how it feels.
