I have been riding for about one year. I ride approximately 100 miles per week on a Trek road bike. I have Bontrager rims and kevlar tires. These tires are difficult to get onto the rims. I was wondering if anyone could suggest reasonably priced wheels that would be easy to work with.

It would probably be cheaper to try different tires. Some fit looser than others. However, I prefer a tight fit, because you're less likely to have the tire pop off. I can't really think of why it might (blow out, perhaps), but I still prefer it. I ride Vittoria Rubinos and they can be difficult but not impossible to install. On campy wheels they were a real pain, but on Bontys, they're not too bad. Just a thought.
