Mountain bike tyres.

[ian field]

Is it just me or are mountain bike tyre beads looser on the rim?

With an old British pushbike (26x1 3/8 - 590) I have to use tyre levers to
remove the tyre, even if I can refit it without levers.

On the MTB tyre I don't need levers at all, also I have to inflate the
innertube just enough to fill the tyre then centre up the bead in the rim
before pumping up fully - otherwise the innertube pops out and bursts when
pumped up to pressure.

It's you. Only idiots ride mountain bikes.

Good. That will save you from turning yourself into a quadriplegic by
engaging in an idiotic extreme sport.

Not as long as mountain bikers keep turning themselves into cripples
and cadavers. It's so interesting that mountain bikers keep trying to
sweep the facts under the rug. Go on keeping your head in the sand.
The rest of you will be there soon....

Just because you're too stupid to ride a bicycle without keep falling off,
doesn't mean everyone else is.

You could always fit trainer wheels you know.

You are confusing me with mountain bikers, who fall over their bikes
all the time. It's well documented: http://mjvande.nfshost.com/mtb_dangerous.htm.
Go ahead, keep lying. It's all that mountain bikers know how to do.

You're the only one complaining how dangerous they are.

How many times have you fallen off and landed on your head so far?

Isn't that interesting?! Mountain bikers don't want anyone to know how
stupid they are (as if they could hide it!).

> How many times have you fallen off and landed on your head so far?

Never. What's YOUR excuse for being brain-dead?

Jail?! - loony bin more like.

To actually answer your question, mountain bike tires are 26x1-2.125 559mm ISO. You shouldn't use them on that rim. You should also make sure the bead of the tire isn't broken.
