Success! Let me know how they ride? On the A23s I had one bead on with tire
levers and talc, and when I tried to push the tube in under the tire, I felt
like I was going to pinch flat it just forcing it in. That said, I never tried
stretching it beforehand. Perhaps it would have helped.

I put the tires on tonight. Mavic Open Pro rims. They were snug, but
nothing crazy. No tire levers, bare hand install. They look fantastic on
the bike and I didn't even have to tweak my sks plastic fenders.

Thanks for the heads up/warning. I will let you know how easy or hard it
is to mount these tires.

Hello.
My name is Liesl, and I'm a bag-o-holic
Sometimes I will skip tires for a while to save up for bags
Sometimes I will buy bags that don't match on any of my bags, and then
acquire a rack, more bags, a hat, and paint my bike so that everything
matches

Tragic, but hysterical (sorry Bill)... although I admit I've lusted after a
set of Hetre reds with the notion that "I'll figure out the 'bike thing'
later"...

Are you using Velox (read: thick) rim tape? The Challenge-A23 difficulty
can be tackled by using either Velocity's own Veloplugs or a thin rim tape
like Ritchey or Rox. The Challenge tires, at least the Parigi-Roubaix, do
stretch out a bit after use so they do get significantly easier to
(dis)m
Let me know how you manage to actually mount them :) I had a heck of a
time getting one on an A23 rim, and decided to return them. I couldn't see
dealing with a puncture in the wild with such a tight tire. Cypres,
brother. Cypres...

Hello.
My name is Bill, and I'm a tire-o-holic
Sometimes I will skip coffee for a while to save up for tires
Sometimes I will buy tires that won't fit on any of my bikes, and then
acquire a bike to fit the tires
I currently have in my possession a total of 59 650B tires
I'm down on 700c, and now
Because you're a little short on tires in inventory, Bill?
