Is a light bulb finally going on for me (or to use a British expression, has the penny finally dropped)? on the website listed below, there are photos illustrating the procedure. In the photo where the tubular is finally going on the rim, it looks like there is some inflation to the tubular. I always tried to mount the tire with no are in it, so the tire was pretty much flat all the way around. None of the many replies mentioned what state, inflation wise, the tubular would be in as you were actively mounting it to the rim. Before I go much further, thanks so much to all that replied. As for why I never put *any* are in the tubular, I felt this gave me the widest *inside* diameter to work with, and with new tires being smaller, for lack of a better term, one would want any advantage they could get. To perhaps illustrate what I mean, I think it is easier to try to mount an uninflated tire than an inflated one. So, should I have a small amount of inflation in the tubular? Thanks in advance for replies.

I found this on the Vittoria website.
Seems to work for me.
