Help! I can't get the tyre back onto my RaceFace AR 40. It is a Maxxis Rekon 27.5 x 2.8 3C EXO TR.
I went tubeless on the front wheel about two years ago. Back then it wasn't an issue. I went as far as I could with my hands and the rest just popped into place via air pressure. Back then I posted a question about getting the tyre off (I wasn't familiar with the concept of TR components). ?
Today I tried ~2h on the back wheel. Had a flat one and decided to go TR there as well. But I can't get far enough for the air pressure trick. Thing is, the rims are assymetric. I "opened" the tyre on the side where these little dents from the spokes (in the pre-installed rim tape) are closer to the edge. So I cannot for the life of me get the tyre to clear all those indentions at the same time (in order to use air pressure).
How the heck do you do this?
