Mounting From the Rear

Deflate the Max before trying to slip it into place. Use a pie tin to cover the wheel studs which will relieve any friction from sidewall/stud contact

Thanks, I read the pie tin trick on a previous thread but also remember someone saying it's a real squeeze or something to get the tire in. I guess I'll just have to find out the hard way.

I've read all these things about getting the tire in. I've had mine in and out 4 times with both the G Max and the Alpin. I air it up , put a little dish soap on the side wall. I tape my chrome rim. It goes right in.

Thanks Shooter, that's good news. I'm going to give it a go.

you can also put a plastic bag on the front part of the tribe as you push it home... really no big deal !!!

physical limitations (degenerative spinal disease) I can't chance laying the bike down on the crash bars to remove/install the wheel

My opening statement . . . can't lift any weight due to spinal issues otherwise I'd have no problem laying it down.
