Changing the rear tube on my ONYX RCR

[@retro93277]

Dam 2600 miles first flat . That is awesome

[@derykespina1116]

Thank you for this video. I am curretly doing my rear tire, got a nail through. This was very useful and was able to do it with success.

[@chillsFPV]

My pleasure @derykespina1116! The onyx community is next level, we gotta be there for each other! Ride safe!

[@WeRideN404]

Thanks for making this vid man! Help me out a lot!

[@chillsFPV]

Glad it worked out! Ride safe!

[@chezeresanchez2137]

Thanks for this ! I got a flat and the store charged me $150 for the tube replacement change 😐

[@chillsFPV]

Oooof. That’s a little much! My pleasure, stay safe out there!

[@JohnAngelnyc]

Great job and video.

[@chillsFPV]

Thanks buddy!

[@JCNY718]

You made this look 27x easier than it was, getting that tire back on was a fucking bitch lol… thanks for the video!

[@chillsFPV]

I feel ya, summer changes go a lot smoother than winter. The warm soft rubber really makes a difference!

[@chillsFPV]

Did a swap the other evening, and used a hair dryer to soften up the new tire. Worked like a charm!

[@scallywagged]

I can't manage to get mine back on. Did you also use metal tire irons? I'm scared of damaging my rim

[@chillsFPV]

@@scallywaggedYo! I’m sorry, I don’t know how I missed your comment. I hope by now you’ve got the tire back on! I feel you tho! Towards the end of the replacement the tire really fights you, but if you heat it up with a hair dryer or some sunshine , it slides right on the rim.

[@rolandcabasag6099]

Gonna attempt to repair my rear tire on my onyx… where can I find the bike stand you’re using in the video to help prop the bike up?

[@chillsFPV]

Hey there! Here’s a link to my stands, they’ve been great. If you are going to follow my suggested steps, make sure to warm up your tire before attempting to put it on the rim. If you don’t have sunshine, a hair dryer for a few mins should do the trick!

Is that motor cable super sensitive? I have a flat and have to new tube in but I’m nervous about the motor cable. Thoughts?

[@mcgavockaudio]

Did my back tire but now. Thrilled wont work and brake is runbbing. Is that a back tire positioning thing?

[@chillsFPV]

Apologies for the late response. Totally a sign of an alignment issue. I used to sit behind the bike on the ground and pull the wheel back so that there was some tension on the chain (not too much like 90% tight) and then inspect the distance of the wheel to the frame. If it is even on both sides, I would give it a spin and see if there was any break rub. Once it’s all sounding clean, tighten it up to 90Nm on your torque and ride safe!

[@xjuanx92]

Nice vid! Which tires are those? Also what fender is that? And which shocks? Any rebound adj. on them? Thanks for any info :)

[@chillsFPV]

Thanks bro! I have the Shinko 241’s 17x2.75 on now, they are quite an upgrade from the DRT’s. As for the fender, I bought a cheap 17” one of treatland.Com , cut it up, grinder it down , and pounded its shape out. So there’s not really a link to it, but once I was done I used magnetic bolts to attach it to the front spacer. The shocks I also got from treatland, but they are frequently out of stock. They are the Egoboost 350mm - 370mm. They came adjusted in the center so I’ve left them there. They make a noticble difference and only took 15 mins to put on!

[@xjuanx92]

@@chillsFPV nice work in that fender. Lookin legit. I’ll check that place out. Thanks again

[@chillsFPV]

@@xjuanx92 much appreciated. Have fun out there!

[@abelleon6665]

What’s the recommended torque specs for the rear bolts? Thanks!!

[@chillsFPV]

90 Nm was what the manual said, and that worked for me. Anything less and the wheel would slide around.

Them tire irons didn't mark up the rims? Honest²

[@chillsFPV]

Little bit … not horribly tho. Adds character 🤷🏻

[@RandomYogi007]

you dont need a tire iron if done correctly.

[@enochmartin7190]

​@@RandomYogi007what ? How do you do it? 😅

[@RandomYogi007]

@@enochmartin7190 lots of soapy water and you need to have the opposite side bead down in the center of the rim, get as much of the bead into the center of the rim and it will give slack to get the rest of the bead over the edge

[@obeii1805]

U don’t have to remove the brakes?

[@chillsFPV]

That’s correct. The brake disk will stay attached to the rim and the break device to the frame. When putting the wheel back on, make sure the disk isn’t rubbing the break pads, and then tighten the axle nuts and motor stay bolts.

[@En4cer2K9]

Sooo... there is no disconnecting the motor cable from the bike? That's extremely inconvenient for repairs.

[@chillsFPV]

Agreed it’s not convenient, but as long as the changing stand is moveable, it’s not really an issue.

[@deeboyism]

Can you use a 18 inch inner tube ??

[@chillsFPV]

I don’t think so. I would feel safer with a tube that’s meant for the tire.

[@chillsFPV]

I use 17x2.75

[@deeboyism]

@@chillsFPV did you find it at a store or did you have to order it ??

[@madel342]

what fender is that

[@chillsFPV]

Hey there … so I took this fender, chopped it up, grinded it down, and hammered it out. It also took some finessing with washers on magnetic bolts so that it fit just right. www.treatland.tv/tomos-OEM-03-06-sprint-lx-FRONT-fender-RED-p/tomos-oem-fender-242130red.htm

[@reign.supreme]

ik its just changing a tube but just watching how unnecessarily complicated this is makes me glad i decided not to get an onyx lmfao like why cant you just simply disconnect the motor cable like a lot of other ebikes

[@chillsFPV]

Yeah, that would be super helpful. But all that would really change is where I put the wheel when changing the tube. So as long as my stand can be next to my bike, in my eyes, not a deal breaker. This bike is amazing and worth any effort on my part to keep it running smoothly.

[@reign.supreme]

I didnt mean to hate on the onyx. Lol i was actually planning on getting one at first but I decided to get a sur ron instead. Onyx is very nice though and a bit faster. 👌🏼

[@LuisMedina-ok5cg]

I got it removed. Definitely worst video ever.
