I could maybe understand a woman or someone with small hands and lack of physical strength may not be able to mount a new tubular tire.
Maybe it's the brand of tire used. I use Vittoria CX, Continental Sprinter and Challenge tubular tires.
I suspect it's the brand/model. I've had some that went on quite easily. My Vittorias went on quite easily. My Clement Futurox - well, they put up quite a struggle.
