[QUOTE="COLEMANAPP, post: 1047377, member: 28476"] Use the baby powder on the tube, not on the tire. It'll help it from getting pinched or bound up. I use soapy water on the tire, lots of it. If you get that 6" spot of the tire where you can't get it to seat without using a bunch of air, try this one. Let a little air out, soak the area with the soapy water, use you tire iron to help seat that tough area as you apply a little more air. You can also use a rubber mallet on the outermost knobs to help slide it into place as well. Just not as effective as the tire tool. It takes me a while to change tires but I have a lot of bikes and don't want to keep paying the shop. I haven't got a tire changing tool but I bought the best tire irons I could get. Unfortunately practice makes it easier and its just not fun to change tires. I've also used heat on the tire, just open the oven door and stand the tire on it (best done when Mrs. isn't home).
