**How to install Challenge Handmade Tires**

Challenge handmade tires are known for their superior ride quality. The handmade nature makes for a more supple and faster rolling tire. Installing them can be a "challenge", so we have put together this video to help you with some tricks to make it work well for you. 

- **We recommend the Tubeless Solutions tire levers and clips. [Click here](https://www.bigandtallbike.com/tubeless-solutions-bead-biter-adventure-kit.html) to order online**

- **Use tire levers to get the first bead over the rim.**

- **Manually push on the other bead as far as you can go**

- **Use the tubeless solutions clips to keep the beads from sliding off as you use tire levers to install the last section of bead. **

- **Inject sealant through the valve stem and inflate tire**

- **Use a sponge with soapy water to find any spots that are leaking on the sidewall** 

- **Angle the tire so that sealant can pool up in the areas that are leaking.  **
