.......Mavic 717 ceramic rims.
Well got them on once months ago, but with a lot of swearing and brute strength and I am (modestly he says) a physically strong man. Anyway a few hundred miles (if that) later, I need to put them on again and have just had a similar struggle - unsuccessful too, as I am unwilling to smash my thumbs to bits this time. Broken two plastic levers as well.....and I hate to use levers to put a tyre on.
So, I am going to have to ditch a virtually unused pair of tyres, simply because it's too difficult (even at home) to get them over the rims.
Bugger!
