Difficult to fit - tires and tubes

I bought a non-clamshell for the front and I really recommend it. If you die from a snake bite, it's sitting on the front wheel, and that's a monster. However, the Cannondale I use has very narrow rims and if you use a tube you don't have much room to build. When installing, you need to be very careful. The lip around the tire is very heavy and you have to smack it together to tighten it without pinching the tube. A tricky business, but once you're done, you can trust him 100%. I love it! I can unreservedly recommend this.
