you make it look very easy, a narrow rim is very hard work to get clips in.had i known about the extra pliers you can buy then it would have a lot less strenuous.

I started installing my new Tannus tyres and got frustrated; I wanted to return the tyres so I drafted this message:
---------------------------------------------
Dear Tannus,
Thank you for creating this long-needed product for the world: it's about time!
I received my tyres and began fitting them in a 77 degree fahrenheit room. I can't for the life of me install my new tyres; and I'm a very strong man. I was unable to stretch the tyres around the wheel, so I installed half of the pins on one side of the rim, hoping this would help, but it didn't. Another issue is the inner half of the Tannus tyre, which seems to be too wide and unable to fit in the wheel.
These are the two problems:
1: The Tannus tyres are smaller than my regular air tyres; I attach a photo of the Tannus tyre fitting LOOSELY INSIDE the air tyre.
2. The inner part of the Tannus tyre where the pins insert is WIDER than the pins. I attach a photo.
It seems to me that I need tyres with a wider diameter and a thinner inner section. Do you have tyres which are, say 750, and have a narrower inner section? Could I exchange them? Or do you advise I leave them out in the sun first to see if they loosen up?
Thank you for your help,
Mac

Before sending the message, I gave the installation one more shot and was miraculously able to stretch the tyre around the bike wheel with a herculean amount of effort. Perhaps the tyres already being half installed stretched and elongated them a little, making the installation easier/possible. After laboriously seating all the pins, I was also able to laboriously jiggle the inner part of the tyre into the bike wheel rim so it entered snugly. All in all, it took me about three hours to install the two wheels. Next time, I'll definitely heat up the tyres in the sun.
It's been a few weeks since and I can report that the only downside is the wheels slip on smooth stony surfaces when it's wet, so go slower and pay extra attention when riding on sidewalks or going up onto sidewalks on rainy days. The wheels have performed great; they sit snugly on the wheel, roll well on the streets, and, most importantly of all, haven't punctured. I'm actually glad that they were a size too small and difficult to install, because now they are very tightly and securely installed, and will never fall off or come loose.
Very happy with my purchase and will buy Tannus again for future bikes.
