Gotcha - rear on properly now so that's two for two.
My method is to sit down with the wheel standing on the floor sideways in front of you (ie not 'between your legs'), with the section you're trying to pull on at the top and facing away from you. Pump the tyre up a little bit with a hand pump, and holding the wheel steady, with a foot or otherwise (this depends how much you care about the rim in question - as I'm basically making a neo-klunker I'm not too bothered, and just stuck a foot between the spokes), pull on as much of the lip as you can by putting your hands over the tyre and pulling it towards you, with both hands at one end of the suspect section, then repeating at the other end. When you can't get any more on, pump it up a little more, and repeat the process. Didn't need any soapy water etc, took some patience but I got there in the end
I hope I don't have to change a tube any time soon. To that end, that tyre slime stuff could work for these. That said I've heard mixed reviews about it...
