I have to use Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack. If I ever get a flat tire that a plug will not fix and requires an inner tube I am going to have to call Lyft.
Hopefully after 1000+ miles maybe it will be easier to install that I can do it on the side of the road.

I also have LB rims although I think a different model (46mm rim brake) and have struggled with the GP5000’s both the original TL’s and the new TR’s that are supposed to be easier to mount. I was so stoked to put on the new variations and so disappointed when they were still so tough lol. Seems to be related to the rims it seems.
on the positive side though, they are fantastic tires and once on for a bit they stretch enough to not be so difficult to remount or repair.
enjoy!
