use the crank bros, crank bros tyre lever, even though it’s CB, it actually works, holds your hand from getting cut on spokes

Cool! Report back if it works!
These are pretty neat. Great for most tyres save for the very stubbornly tight tyre to rim combo.

These suckers. Have used them at shops for years and yet to see someone snap one. Also don't look ridiculous and you can carry them with you.

Just fought the Battle of Argotal and lost.
I have battled Chuntinental in the past, Der Baron, Der Kaiser... but never have I felt a tyre like this with the DH casing.
Picture was meant to show the 5 broken tyre levers. 2 of which I have had since 2007-8.
The final tyre lever is still alive as I needed it to get the tyre off again, plus a screwdriver.
The rim is shallow and is asymmetric so I do have a plan of attack to get these on. Both beads on the short side.
1 hour of wrangling, my forearm are pinking, fingers are fat bulging muscles after the wrestle, I better go ride before they pack in.
Any tips for getting these on would be great. I've never been defeated by a tyre before.

Thats the problem, the centre
The valley on these rims is very shallow and offset.
Failed attempt was on the Send II.
Attempt 2, when I get some chunky levers, cushcore bead dropper or something, will be getting both beads of the tyre over the short side wall.
Contis are the tightest tyre about anyway and this rim doesn't help.

Put it in the oven. When it gets hot and squishy (not sloppy) it should slide on heaps easier. Then pop it in the fridge to set.

That tyre looks very, err, dry. Tried some Rubber grease/Vaseline on the bead (including just inside the inner edge)?

Try putting the tyre in some hot water, some tyre and rim combos are a nightmare but I haven't had anything challenging since the early Schwalbes.

That may be the dried soap that was sprayed all over it, the tyre was dripping and puddle on floor.
Might rim it with rubber grease on next attempt. Just need new tyre levers before trying.
