faster and easier proces IMHO to have tube and rimlock out inside tire when one side done...

@@babar69110 I don't like putting my hand inside the tyres :-) As always there's more than one ways to do things, just sharing mine.

Lyndon Poskitt thank you Lyndon for your advices engineer way! Always the smile 😊 I like the shape of your front tire .. Bridgestone battle cross before home time I lost the front riding on a straight on a path on the edge of a height difference and I do believe that I wouldn’t have fallen with a shape like yours even if it was a mistake from my side. Take care

Brilliant, full length tyre change with no editing, script, completed barely breaking a sweat. I’m gonna have a go now you’ve made it look so easy!!!

Easy, that's what I thought too, but I always pinched the tube 🤬 The key to take away from this video is if at any point it is difficult something is wrong.

@@raymondsanger5196 or us slightly nutty bois operate on a different level. I rely on my bike to keep me safe and bring me back so I take care of it by keeping it in a moisture-less and heated room. I live near the sea, within 80 meters from it so keeping it indoors just makes more sense for me as I don't want all that saltwater condensation and mist-over messing with my bike corroding stuff. Plus, I like looking at my bike, touching it as I walk by, slapping the tank in approval.

So.... I thought "that's nice Lyndon, lots of guys need help with this" then I recalled that I encourage guys with the statement I never stop learning. So I grabbed a coffee and hit play. Well done even this old dog picked up a trick I will try next opportunity er next inconvenience I have. Great video as usual.

[@russpaton8877]

One thing I like to do is wrap the spare tube in saran wrap tightly, this helpsncompress it a bit but mostly protects from wear of the spare tube in a fender bag or similar.

[@lawrencemartins4721]

As always, top notch tips! Thanks Lyndon. Stay healthy.

[@flemminglund2577]

That’s the way to do it. I have just fitted a new front tyre on my 450 EXC using this technique and for the first time I actually enjoyed doing the job :-) I can recommend placing the wheel on a car tyre when performing the operation. It protects the brake rotor, sprocket as well as your exercise mat :-)

[@steveh100]

Why is it that after watching dozens of you tube vids to learn something new you find the perfect one after you've done it... might redo it for practice. Thanks Lyndon. PS. I think the camera operator made this more clearer. Good job.

[@UTPP]

Handy hints like this are great, thanks Lyndon 👍

[@jamesgallagher3052]

Thanks I have never had to change a tube or tyre before as one of the guys in our group was a motorcycle mechanic so he always just did it. Now I have to do it myself I struggled getting it over the rim lock until I watched this I did it today rear tyre off new tyre on dry and cold and back on the bike all in 30 minutes. Last time I tried before watching this 2 hours later and loosing half the skin on my hands I threw the tools and cut the old tyre off and got the shop to fit the new one. Never again thanks again

[@sergiodesmo]

Thank you Lyndon for this video. With your good video and tips, I have been able to do it by myself. Great level of satisfaction. I even fixed a puncture due to pinching my tube…. Thank you Camilla for holding the video camera, very well done 👍

[@Paul-hu3zr]

Fitted my first set of Motorbike tyres last week, using the LP method of course and opted for Michelin Anakee Wilds too. 1st go at the rear seemed to have gone well, but somehow I introduced a pinch flat on the last step 😟. Positive point, I got to practice repairing a puncture too😁. Clearly I'd missed something, so moved into the kitchen for the second go and that sorted it. Front went well, though I got kicked out of the kitchen 👍👍. Now fitted and scrubbed in with a 💯 country road miles, loving the tyres. Cheers Lyndon, inspiring even in lockdown 🤙

Thanks for share how to repair puncture. I know this is came from your many experience. Very useful for beginners.

[@tcc4551]

Solid work. I use your videos to teach my sons; from your mouth its golden, from mine, its just dad's shite, ha. When you get done riding hard; try your hand at coaching or teaching. Your'e a natural; clear expectations, stay on point, and deal well with all the "what ifs". As a young teen, I apprenticed in a local machine shop. "Moony", shop foreman, would teach me the hard way. Like mechanics always push the wrench away with an open palm to save his knuckles when the wrench slips. Full of myself in my early days; good advice usually went in one ear and out the other. So as I'm trying to break a 3/4 " bolt free with a closed fist wrapped right around the wrench; Moony reaches over with a fair sized wrench and wacks me a sharp one across me knuckles. As I screech in pain; Moony calmly points out that if you hold a wrench the wrong way, you'll hurt your knuckles. You're an effective teacher and motivator; what you so freely share in your videos is what boys need to really listen to to become "men". May you and yours be safe.

[@lyndonposkitt]

[@romeokamil]

This explains it all so nice! If only I would have watch it yesterday before I started to change the tire. Saved for later :)

Thank you Lyndon. I just changed my front tire and this helped more than I can convey. Didn't get hurt, went slowly and didn't even cuss! New D606 on my 701 Enduro, also went no lube on accident wasn't too hard. I followed all your steps from lacing the tube into the rim while it's in the tire and above all KEEPING THE TIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIM everything went real good. THANK YOU!

[@steveh1130]

Thanks for the video Lyndon, it’s been years since I’ve done this and this has given me great tips. Appreciate it!

[@SB-fe4gt]

If you leave the nut just barely on the valve, the tire bead will seat easier and more evenly plus you'll be less likely to pinch the tube. Just like you did on the rim lock. Excellent idea to use the "trough"/drop center opposite from where you are trying to get the bead over the rim.

[@kayp8949]

Hey Lindon. I learned a lot when I saw you mounting and dismounting the tire. My advice when using a patch is to leave it on for a minute then fold the tube it with the plastic film with the patch on the outside of the bend. Almost all modern patches have a breaking line(yours also, because I saw it ripped when you were pulling it off). If you pull the film from the inside instead of the edge you wil almost never pull your patch edges of.

[@paulsmyth497]

Nice one Lyndon. That’s a cool video and a great refresher after many years bikeless myself, now resolved. However, the greatest skill here was negotiating with “The Management” to get approval to bring your bike into the kitchen 😊🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. There we go. Subject matter for your next training vid mate 😉👍. You’d make a fortune mate.

I can change tires on the floor in a matter of minutes and you still got me to watch half this 🤣 It’s the video I’ve always wanted to make. Great video. Thank you and your filmer helper! Million times easier making videos like this with a helper! Recently I’ve been spooning both sides to take them off and dropping the whole wheel into the tire on the re-install. Common method for Tubliss installs. Works really well. I also finish near the rimlock for the very reason that the tire falls in to the drop center easier on the opposite side that doesn’t have the rimlock, because the rimlock itself is an obstruction.

[@keevinp]

there is a little cut in the plastice cover on the patche, so you can pull it of from the middle to the edge, so you won't have trouble with pulling of the patch edge. I only have done this on a bicycle, i would have to try it on my moter bike once, but since using it manly for work commuting and a bit of offroad in the weekend, i let the bike shop boys handel my flats :p maybe with this tips i will have the nerve to start doing it myself.

[@MrHugeheffner]

Very useful tips thanks!! Im also a fan of ultra heavy duty tubes, not only because they are good insurance against flats but when mounting/dismounting they work in your favour holding their form really well with just a little air so that it’s very difficult to accidentally pinch them. I also don’t use a valve nut once the tyre is on, as the rim lock will keep the tube in place, and I find it good insurance to have that little play to avoid shearing. Just my experience .!
