Yes. Let the dealer do it. Hey, you didn't put any disclaimers on your question.

I gotta agree. Let a dealer do it. I tried in Dec. ended up cutting the bead to get the old one off. I started the new one, darkside. I finally went to a tire shop, owned by a friend, and let him mount it. There is very little relief in the rim, it makes it really difficult to work with. It wasn't really easy even on a modern tire machine.

Flip the bike upside down, resting it on the handlebars and seat.

Wait, that's for my bicycle.

The R3T, no thanks. I have a Harbor Freight MC jack, but don't consider it stable enough to leave the bike up without a rear wheel. Besides, my dealer mounts tires he sells for free.

Good luck.
