I've got a Marin Riftzone 2004 (i think) its currently got mavic rims which are 26 X 2.10 I recently have been getting loads of punchers so I thought I buy some 'Schwalbe Marathon Plus ATB 26 x 2.0 ' but they dont fit I thought the .10 of an inch would not make that differance but clearly it does. Am i correct in thinking they are the wrong size now?
 
You will need tire levers to get the tire on and off. Also if you have the tube inflated already deflate it to where there is very little air in it.
 
No they should fit fine and you likely need two tire levers to get the bead of the tire around the wheel. If you dont know what you are doing then it would pay to let your local bike shop do it for you one time and watch so you know how later on. Most new tires will go on hard and come off the same way especially if they are a wire beaded tire. You have to play with it but it will fit what you have.
