... mr bike shop guy came to the conclusion that I don't have the arm muscles...

Christ almighty, woman - get a grip

I can hardly believe it that a woman in this day and age is willing to be so wimpy. All you need is to practice. I've seen girls of 10 years old sorting punctures on mtbs with stiff, heavy knobbly tyres so really an adult saying she's not strong enough makes me wonder where your self-respect is.

I'd like to apologise - to Sarah and anyone else in the same position - for the above post - when I read it back it read far more nastily than I intended

I know some are more difficult than others....but I've yet to find a tyre I can't put on with thumbs, and maybe a "roll" with the gloved palm at the end, and no it doesn't take a whole lot of arm strength either. The secret is getting the bead in to the well of the rim.

You've obviously never tried changing marathon pluses!
