It is understandable how this happened, and I've the same problem with my Gunnar. I actually have to let the air out of my tires to take the wheel off - but I LOVE those tires and just deal with it. There isn't much clearance between my brakes and rims though and it is especially difficult to get the rear brakes reattached. My brake levers are adjusted for my little short fingers which means there just isn't much room to work with.
