Was about to get a bunch of brain damage taking the front wheel of my Trike for a tube change. Thank you, easiet tube change I have ever done.. Thank you for the great video !

Miss my XA❤️

Nice concept but it needs a lot of work.

I appreciate the informative video. Why on a Surly Ogre that has a Rohloff setup with fenders would a flat repair involve removing the fenders as well? I've come across this on a bicycle touring video.

Yes, it takes good geometry skills or trial and error. If the ramp is at too sharp an angle where it meets the tailgate or the ground, one end or the other, front or back, of the trike will scrape the ground. Or the middle of the trike will hang up on the lip of the tailgate. The ramp must be long enough for this. I wound up with telescoping aluminum ramps, pricey but lightweight, convenient, do the job perfectly. Eight feet extended, four and a half collapsed, but your trike and vehicle may be of different dimensions. I use a little colored tape on my tailgate to mark the exact centerline for the ramps, so when setting up I don't need to give the alignment a second thought. Just one of the thousand things that trike riding and ownership demands we sort out.

New trike with Rohloff owner here, too. Exactly my question answered. Thanks!

Ok so what I do is what you have done with the chain into the highest gear to take the wheel off , then I change the derailleur to the first gear position so that when I put the wheel back in it gets rid of all that extra chain. I rest the derailleur gently on the grond , hopefully not having any movement back and forth to deal with.As for the flat fixing , I take the tire and tube off in one movement and leave the tube in the tire. Pump it up and listen for the leak . Now you know exactly where to look for a pointy object in the tire. Fix it pump it up , reinsert, and keep smiling .

an extra tip for loading: Attach a small, rectangular piece of rug to the end of the tubes which touch the ground. They can stick out about 4-6" onto the ground from the tip of the pvc pipes at the ground level. This is a common trick with ramps for cars, as the rug gives a surface for the wheels to grab onto as they are loading onto the pvc tubes. Cheap carpet or rugs will suffice and are not in the way for storage in car or truck.

I don't want to come off as snarky and nasty here, because I"m not, but I think you just did a great job NOT selling this rack to people over fifty or sixty years old. Even when it's "kneeling", you had to lift your heavy bike, and getting the fork positioned properly looked awkward at best. Then to tie down the rear of the bike, you easily plopped your fit looking body down to sit on the cement, and zipped back up to standing again, all while talking and not sounding the least bit out of breath. This product looks pretty great for fit people, but a lot of older folks will probably pass on buying it.

Attach some small chains or canvas type of fabric straps to link each long piece of PVC pipe so that when you spread them out to use them, they don't slide away. The chains/straps would not hamper stacking the three long pieces into your vehicle. It could easily be a one-person set up then. Nice video and thanks for sharing the idea.

Thank you for this tutorial. It was concise and educational. I'm a new Rohloff owner. I didn't even consider changing a flat, until a Rohloff owning friend said I needed to learn how to take the wheel off. This video was just what I needed.

Thank you for the simple and concise explanation.

М-да, слабенький вы народец. А мы в России такой транспорт легко закидываем. Не нужны доски

last resort, i have a spray bottle with water and a couple drops of liquid detergent.. i spray the outside of the tube and air it up.. bubbles will form where the hole is.. i dry it with a cloth and mark it with a chalk pencil..

Ideal Situation.. wouldn't it be nice if you only got flats while your Recumbent trike was sitting at counter level and the tires/wheels were not touching the ground..? This isn't realistic for anyone.. we need to know how to elevate the back of the trike, and lift off a heavy/awkward wheel with a Roloff by our lonesome.. Those situations need two people and a block to put under the frame.. LOL.

Thank you so much!😀

It looks like it could be about 10 cm shorter wheel base...lot of space between seat and back wheel...

Thanks for this … bought mine used and couldn’t fold it until watching this.

Still looks like a two person job.

Nice

the 2 telescoping tubes are very thin from the looks of them.

So like nobody uses recumbent tandem bikes bro.

I like this. pVC pipes weigh a lot less than metal Ramos and take up less room. I need to figure out how to do this with my 4x4pick up and 80 lb full size e-trike.

Faster if you don't get a flat in the first place, Marathon Plus FTW.

I bought the Magnum XL and love it! Super comfortable and fun to ride.

How do you change the tubes with fenders on?

Ive always wondered why presta even exists now im wonder why big beefy MTB tires also use presta because i kind of hate it and a lot of them arent even serviceable so you cant remove the core to add sealant

I have a scion XA as you know, is the greatest car ever. Honda fit Peter. Looking good!!!

It wouyld be interesting to see how a tadpole trike fits on one of those

Thank you so much! That was very helpful!

Thanks! Good helpful tips. Especially the one about carefully feeling for something sharp that remains poking through the tire.

Which van? Brand and model?

Linda bicicleta. Moro no Brasil. É complicado comprar e importar para o Brasil. Você vende o projeto com as medidas? Quero construir uma dessa.

Will the bike fold up this nicely if it has a rack?

This is just what I've been thinking of for my trike to make load/unload easier. Excellent!

I would very much like to NOT have to roll it onto its side for folding, because, as you have pointed out, you need some soft ground to not scratch it. Otherwise, I love it and don't fold it often.

What a great idea. Seems simple enough. How is the piece that the PVC pipes fit into held? I see the ropes going somewhere but I don't understand where they attach.

I've never folded my trike, might have never figured out the stud without this video. Thanks!

Do you have any used single Draftmasters available?

Innovative solution, just what I’m looking for when my E-trike arrives. Thanks for sharing.

Linear limo that I rode at the bicycleman’s test track was one of the most comfortable smooth bicycles I’ve ever been on. It’s certainly on my list of Bents to own- and I own six lol

Peter this video is quite “ Extreme.” 🤣

Wow that’s Small - awesome

Thanks again for the bike! Great deal and your customer service is top notch!

Love my stratus - is there a chain guard available (often get chain grease on my right calf, LOL)?

Great demo. Thank you.

Thanks Ben! You’re a good man very knowledgeable! Whatever Peter is paying you I’ll double it! 😉

Thanks Peter For allowing us to test drive several of your bikes . We are very happy with our purchases and your service is outstanding.

Yeah, but will the Lowfat outrun a Bike-E? I love your rafters. That looks like a fun place to hang out.
