I have the 2024 iteration of the Sam. Like others have said, deflate the tire a bit to squeeze it through. That's what I had to do when I first got the bike, but since the brake pads have worn down a bit, I can squeeze it through without doing that. Fortunately for me, I do not need to do this other than when removing it for cleaning.
