I carry a small plastic tarp with me so I've got something to work on out bush rather than laying the wheel on the dirt. Good video. Cheers Jeff

I'm an ex tyre fitter... Make sure the tyre bead on the other side from where you are working is always inside the rim well. It makes it so much easier. You should be able to almost fit the tyre without needing levers til the final last bit then. 👌

Must admit I tyre seal them and hope that would get me too the accommodation where I can change the tube in more comfortable circumstances with a beer. The foam makes good lube, too. But new tyres are always hard in my experience and I pay to have them fitted. Money well spent I think. Good one though. The thing about finishing at the valve is you can push it into the tyre a bit ( with the valve nut at the top of the thread ) so you don't pinch the tube.. hopefully. I've still done it. Happy travels

"Baja no-pinch tool" ... I made my own "mechanical" version, it's a game changer on tubed tyre fitting, even when fitting Mitas E-07+ and Motoz Rallz's !

Best tip I've been given is to use a black bin liner to help slip tyre on rim. Give it a go. Works a treat in my cub

I use a bit of wood underneath the tyre to make sure bottom beading is in rim well .

Can you air up and down at will after putting slime in? Or you kinda stuck at that psi?
@Blurredman2 жыл бұрын
Why not repair them? Good quality patches are great. Also, 'spoon' type levers are much more fogiving in terms of accidental puncturing..

Start to the left or right of the valve and go round in a circle, no need to change sides half way through.

Well done, Nathan. I've yet to tackle this job. As you suggested, I use slime in all my tyres.On my Himalayan I'm using TKC80s at the moment. Does you, or anybody else know if they have a stiff sidewall, or not. I've got to replace them in the next couple of months and was wondering whether to have a go myself. I do like TKC80s, so if they're reasonably easy to change I think I might have a go myself.

I have them on my himi, and the motorbike tyre shop had to cut the front one off as it proved too stiff for them to remove with a machine. I wouldn’t attempt it myself. They didnt have an issue with the rear one though.

Who'd have tubed tyres! Imagine doing this at the side of the road, the hub grating on the footpath in the rain not to mention all the crap you need to carry around with you to do it. Bad enough in a nice warm workshop.

Would changing the rims for tubeless tyres pay in the long run, but only if you plan to do a lot of off roading? Is there more tyre choice too? I’m building an ecub and found the road tyre choices very limited.
@jochenschrey29092 жыл бұрын
Confused. Usually the offroading faction insists on spoked wheels. Spoked for tubeless are rare or however converted. I have no clue how many tyre changes a conversion will survive. The narrow Innova tyres seem to challenge Europeans, even professionals, I 'd calculate at least 3 tubes for 2 tyres, even without punctures. How many will you need? 9 in 100Kkm? Can you buy alloy rims for 108€? Choice will be less! Anything labeled "tubeless" does fine with a tube but not vice versa.
@Frightningman2 жыл бұрын
Surprised that a man of your experience didn't know to finish at the valve? Also, when applying lube, try smearing it on the inside of the tyre, to help it slip over the rim. And finally, the nylon in a tyre is the internal reinforcement - not the actual tyre compound.
@nathanthepostman2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Frank. Yes I've done a few tyre changes in my time but I'm still a rank amateur and forget most of it between changes. We can all learn something from people who do it for a living.

Re Slime; did all my tyres and had a full bottle unopened; it stood for about two years when I came to use it, it had got chunks of black/green mould in it making it unusable. Not sure if anyone else has had this; makes me think, what's it like in the tyres :-(

If a nail can make it through the tyre a few extra mms of inner tube thickness won’t stop it …
