I've been trying to mount a pair of Challenge Criterium tires on the wood rims for my Viking. I can't seem to stretch them enough. I finally draped them over a pipe and hung about 40 pounds of dumbbells on them for several days. Yesterday I succeeded in mounting one but still can't get enough wiggle to straighten the tire on the rim. Can't use tire irons on the wood rims. :-( I would appreciate any suggestions you folks might have.
