continental travel contacts

Hi all,
Treated myself to a pair of these tyres today and 4 hours
later i still dont have one let alone both tyres fitted.
Anyone fitted these themselves or is it a simple case of getting a
bike shop to fit them?

I found some rims to be too tight to fit Continental tyres.
Schwalbe seem to be a fraction more generous in their rim bead length.

I found out when I got a new front wheel.

Try to see if you can get the bead into the lowest point of rim, but I think
you have a bad combination of rim and tyre.

If you can't fit the tyre at home, you'll never fix a flat on the road !

no problem fitting them to my rims, or the Sport Contact variant either
