Amazing Jessica Gardiner Changing 2 Tires in 6 Minutes with Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

[@martinw18]

Currently on my second week of trying to change one 😛

[@russellhelms2835]

Lol…damn! Still working it?

[@Quantalume]

I feel your pain, brother.

[@craighoffman6876]

I own a Rabaconda and am nothing like Jess here, but can tell you the stand is great and their irons are the best available. Love the bead breaker and tire iron holder thingie, so useful.

[@howardbritten1186]

Does the Rabaconda fold up to fit in the tool pouch on my rear mudguard?

[@Rabaconda]

It folds up, but not that small 😆. But when you use bib mousses you don’t need any tire change stuff with you anymore

[@bikesbeersbeats]

Never had an issue removing one, its always a new tire install that can be difficult. The trick is always to warm up the tire! Leave it in the sun for an hour before installation and it’ll just slip on.

[@Rabaconda]

very true! It's gets more tricky with tires with bib mousse inserts. That requires a bit more force, technique and equipment

At that level with her support, someone should be doing the work. Wasting energy and risking an injury doesn’t make sense. Why she is changing both tires on race day is my question. That should be done ahead of time or have an additional set of wheels and fresh tires.

Long way from the old days of running tubes with bead locks, then rim pins, pumps then co’2 canisters, Finalek (liquid puncture sealer) and 2 x 8 inch tyre levers wedged into a bumbag or jammed in the air box…….. I can remember changing a tyre in Weipa in the 80’s and the wheel was nearly solid mud……

[@TheIdlesurfer]

I've got one of those Rabaconda devices. I'm, at best, okay at changing tyres but without flustering I can change a mousse tyre in about 15 minutes, including lubing the mousse. I did it once without the Rabaconda, with a mousse. 2 hours, a pint of blood lost out of my knuckles and the rimlock not seated. I highly recommend using the guide Vanessa Ruck aka Girl on a Bike does. If you follow it, every bit of it, even the bits which don't make a lot of sense, after 15 minutes, you'll be cinching up your rinlocks like a boss. I fit mousses about twice a year, max, so I don't do it enough to have a knack so I just follow Vanessa's guide and the tyre pops on. With a regular inner tube I take about 10 minutes to change a tube and unless you're running mousses and you change them youself, the Rabaconda is a bit pointless. But if you're running mousses, bite hard and pay the money. Your knuckles will thank you, but you'll never be as good as this lass. She's amazing!

[@Rabaconda]

Thank you so much for your feedback! Totally agree; Vanessa has done a fantastic job with this professional and easy-to-follow guide for proper mousse changes

[@capitanvonchickenpants8492]

[@kristinjohnson3655]

[@duroxkilo]

that was a new to me technique of removing the tire, looked real good.. i didn't care that much for the mounting technique, but i also don't know how rigid the tire walls were..

[@Rabaconda]

bib mousse inserts make it challenging. the tires are not too rigid for enduro

[@paulconnell6573]

Actually it is something that is done routinely. I used to do it in the dirt, on my knees under the sun. But nice anyways.

[@SophisticatedBob]

Is there some rule that she has to do these herself, as part of the enduro race?

[@Rabaconda]

Yes. For the duration of the event riders must work on their own machines so all tire and mousse swaps, oil and air filter changes, and general repairs must be done by the riders within the allocated times (15minutes per day). If it takes longer than that, then penalties start to mount up.

[@bertradmacher2623]

yes, her wheel has a rim lock as well if you watch closely. Usually only in rear wheel, not in front wheel

Not so obvious from this vid, but interesting that in racing they don't use mouse gel or lube. I guess the tyres and mousses only need to last one day...

[@chasingwaves11]

Here is a tip use some dam tire grease , and when your take the bead off the rim stick a long spoon in it was spin it all the way around the rim wayyyyyy faster ! .. and when putting the tire back on the rim use tire grease and once your half way around push the tire bead in the center of the rim where the bead has more room to fly back on the rim .. I used to do this crapp back when I raced quads .. with only 3 tire spoons wouldn't even break a sweat .. HOPE THESE TIPS HELP SOMEONE

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

It's all in the technique and the number of tire irons. I only use 3 and a large screwdriver. Now I see I need 3 more. It makes a difference if you have a machine to hold it steady to. It's just technique. Like most things. woman or man it's the same. This is not a strength project. 🙂

[@Rabaconda]

It’s all about the technique, yes sir. For bib mousse inserts you need 5 irons, for regular air tubes 3 is enough

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

@@Rabaconda I have 3, but now I see 5 would be nicer. Little bites at a times is how it works. not big bites.

[@therealrobertbirchall]

Get the first edge in with 2 levers lay the wheel on the ground apply lube, and walk the tyre on. You will not damage the rim or tyer. For removal break off the beads push the tyre into the well on one side and insert on lever between the rim and tyer levers the bead over the rim at that spot then insert the second levers next to it and levers more of the tyre over the rim. With a 1/4 the tyer over the rim on one side turn the wheel over and push a long lever right under the tyre and lever against the opposite rim, tyer off. Always ensure the tyer bead drops into the rim when levering and you will have no problems Some car and light trucks have an offset rim well in which case you must take them off fron the side nearest the offset. Why do people make such a big deal over changing tyers. Some of the patronising comments here about a woman changing a tyer, badly, are right out of order.

[@barbeonline351]

Anyone else watch to see the actress change a motorcycle tire? Then remember halfway in that that is "Jennifer" and not "Jessica"? Still. Good technique is never disappointing to watch.

[@okienightstalker3145]

Well when you don't have to worry about pinching tubes or fucking your rims up it goes pretty fast

[@scottzeezee4343]

I’m a little impressed but I spend most of my time fighting the tube and rim locks. Did she use a mousse in each tire or was this just a fake demonstration?
