Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I had some problems with the yellow-fellow on some Shimano wheels. Pinched 2 tubes. Then I swore some. Then used the Park T-10 and mounted the tire with no tube. Let it stretch a bit, then took it off and did it much more easily with the tube. Fortunately it's on an old wheel so no need to swap tires frequently.

Over a the past few years of putting tires on the wrong way (with a tire lever), I've learned how not to pinch a tube. When putting on a tight tire, and trying to get those last few inches of tire mounted, use a really flexy tire lever. The stiff ones will make it hard and will break, and metal tire levers are just plain stupid.

Edit, sorry late.
FYI, here's the dealer list for this item; it's kind of wierd, but I've never shopped at any of these dealers.
