regina spektor & Continental Tires

[silver]

Thanks! I'm sooooooo relieved. I did find a $6 helper for the conti tires.

Here's my explanation of what finally worked for me.

My Continentals are, ah, actually loose to put on. I am the most mechanically challenged person in the world. I went to a tire/repair workshop a couple of weeks ago and I was dreading putting the tire back on (I didn't have any flats with them this year). To my surprise, the mechanic told me mine were actually loose and she showed me some tricks for getting them back on the rim.

Silver had me petrified of having to work with these tires...

Sorry! I think that the issue is actually with the initial mounting and maybe for a few weeks. Sounds like you have been riding on them for a year? I sure am hopeful that mine will loosen up. Because although I did do it, I don't wish to struggle as hard each time.
