Have been reading comments on how hard they mount on the rims and couple even took them to the bike store and they could not do it. Can you do it?

Yes, they can be put on but it takes a little effort and some skill not to get tube pinched, which has happened to me a few times. Not with these tires, though. I have to admit sometimes tires can be difficult but you just have to learn how to do it. One key is to always keep bottom part that has been put on as close to rim as possible, to give you the maximum amount of room at the point where you are slipping it on. I've never tried it but using a little soapy water around edge of tire might make it easier. Good luck.

I had absolutely no problems mounting these and I am a novice. I just unpacked them and let them 'shape' overnight. I then put the tube on slightly inflated to help with the shape and I used a pair of Pedro tire levers: Pedro Tire Lever Yellow One Pair

Did it myself. A little bit harder than previous tires but hardly impossible. The last 12" are the hardest. A little soapy water might help.

I had no problem at all. You can always buy some "spoons" to help mount the tires. They only cost a couple of dollars and I carry them in my bag in case I get a flat.

I looked at a photo of that bike and if you have the proper carrier/rack to mount these baskets onto, I don't see why not. Looks to me as if the bike has all kinds of mounting points for that sort of project, it's just a matter of choosing a good one that will work with the bike, and accommodate those baskets.

I think you would have a hard time getting them on. The mount doesnt seem to expand much. I had to take the grips off to slide them on the kids bike bars which I think are around 21.

Hubby says if the bolt pattern is the same you can, but you will need a larger tire to compensate for the smaller rim. Hope that helps!

I was able to do it with a flat screwdriver. It just had to be a small enough flat screwdriver. You don't want it to be TO easy - they need to stay put!

Well they are mesh and they are metal, so I don't see why you couldn't mount them.

Not that I remember but it is totally obvious how to fit them.Remove a few bolts change links replace bolts. What I would say is you need the bike as high as possible to make the job more accessible .I did it on a bike work bench.no problem.

I think you'd have trouble going over a tire. They do make bike racks specifically for tire mounts.

Yes they can. Directions are in the installation guide. I did do it so don't know how hard it is.

Yes. Should not be a problem. They're flat, so will mount to a curved wheel well

I don't think I would try that. They seem like they might be a little light for a vehicle of that size.

I was able to mount mine and my daughter's without a problem. I love this bike rack. Best thing we have bought in a long time.

Based on their shape, I don't think so. Mine mount flat, though. But, because they are not flat and have a small lip around the edge, I don't think you could get a good bend.

They are threaded but I don't think it's designed to move. You would need strong wheels and may be some adjustment to the frame too.

This is my boyfriend's response.Yes. The answer is yes.They must be installed by using an external air supply. Also my front suspension is not an air suspension so the front must be changed to handle that size rim.

It's very tricky. Sorry if this is useless, but I know it's possible. A friend of mine can get "pinners" out of these but I can't. If I tried more I could maybe learn but I like a good amount. So... It's possible but I myself cannot do it. Hope this helps friend

Yes...I bought two...one for me and one for my girlfriend...we both love them and would buy again. You will need to put additional air in the tires and perhaps tighten some nuts and bolts. Best thing to do is take them to a bike shop so the bikes can be gone over...well worth the additional money for peace of mind.
