Ugh, I got these new Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX tires because I am so stupid and vain and they were white walls. Anyway, impossible to put on. I screamed "You dirty Italian *expletives*" over and over again and left them to my roommate. Even he had to use levers which is against his personal code of ethics or what not.

So somewhere in removing the old tires I pinched the tube. Roommate patched it but immediately filled it so it won't hold. Now I can't get these evil evil tires off! I'm a little worried! Are they always gonna be like this? I'm holding a contest at work tomorrow for the first person to get the stupid thing off. I can't in good conscious dump it off at the sweet little mom and pop bike shop downstairs.

I know the bus schedules really well, but don't want that to be my flat plan. How long do they have to be mounted to stop being so ornery? I seriously considered microwaving them to get them on!!! Then I remembered it wouldn't affect the bead much. GRRR! Any tricks, any? Any?

For sale, one pair Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX 700x23 tires. Only mounted, never ridden *snicker.*
