Continental Gatorskin How To Install

[@renexerez2122]

I truly enjoyed watching how to install the tire the hard way. It's really nice to see how both ways one can do it. We viewers also want to see how not to. We learn from this. I'm in the process of ordering them in too, for my road bike. I've got continental Ultra Sport 28Cs on my bike and just love them. But sometimes I need to get off the pavement and the Gators might just do the trick. We really have crappy roads here. Thanks, great vid.

No problems, Gatorskins going strong and no flats or readjustment of the tire. Thanks for watching

Hard way? This looks INCREDIBLY simple compared to what I'm going through, which is why I'm watching these videos; trying to find out why I'm having so much trouble.

[@lenkiewitcz]

What's the easy way? lol

[@Anthony-qu7qd]

Thanks for sharing this, I'm relatively knew to biking and needed new tires and had no clue how to change these foldable

The two dots at 5:58 are tread wear indicators

[@trexmobile1]

Good info, thanks for watching!

[@SuperBullyone]

That tire was warn out. did you get the tread going the right way? did you do both treads the same direction?

[@trexmobile1]

Good reminders to all and thanks for watching

[@josephorduna1115]

Did you make sure you didn't put the tire on backward. I believe it is built to roll in a certain direction. Check the pattern on the tires. There should be an arrow indicating forward roll.

[@trexmobile1]

I think I talked about that but if not thanks for adding the information. I think most tires have a directional arrow and also thanks for watching

[@RobertvMill]

Thanks!

[@HarveyWallbanger-ho2cq]

Dude, you used those old inner tubes? 😅

[@trexmobile1]

For sure lol if they hold air no reason to replace them but they where stuck to the rim tight I might still be using one in the front tire still😝

[@rodge2479]

those valves are a tad long on your Tubes Ranbo.

[@trexmobile1]

those are factory tubes, thanks for watching!

[@TamaEnergy]

When i try to get off them off they go all funny and warped😊

[@kennethcolbert2921]

Some tires are just hard to get on. I've been there.

[@dixonbidenzmouth4115]

I would never consider a tire with a gash like that to be considered good. It cannot be repaired and you would risk a blowout using it again when you're running high air pressure. You need to look to see if the tire is directionable before installing. There is usually an arrow on the sidewall that would indicate the direction. Also you risk damaging the tube if you're not careful with the tire levers when working the final section of tire into the rim.

Super! 👍🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️💪

[@thomasditchfield9201]

Really difficult to watch this guy struggle so much fitting the tyre! Continental do a great video on how to fit similar tyre on KZbin. You should always fit one side of the tyre to the rim first then slightly inflate the tube and then insert the valve into the rim and then simply run the tube inside, its then a case of gently folding the other half of the tyre into the rim. Semi inflate and then check the tire and tube are sitting correctly.

thanks for watching!

[@Quasar222]

The tube and tire stay in place better if you lay the wheel down flat on the floor, imo.

[@zacjohnson4411]

Brother this is the hard way, and your valve stem is obliqued (crooked) With this tire, being such a tight fit , do one side, pack the tube, then fit the other side Doing it this way is an easy way to get a pinck flat

[@zacjohnson4411]

Pinch flat**

[@trexmobile1]

@@zacjohnson4411 you could of just edited the original post but thanks for watching

[@cameranbarbieux2802]

So… I’m like… gunna do this as slow as I possibly can.

[@trexmobile1]

yes no fast forward here people might miss something important.

[@s1alker564]

The Gatorskins (folding type) when on extremely easy in comparison to the Conti 5000s they replaced (got a big hole in the tire with only a few hundred miles) Went back to the gatorskins, didn't even need a tire lever.

[@Evoluti0nz]

Really? I thought the GP5000s were easy for me..

[@Strange_Brew]

You mounted them the wrong direction…

[@trexmobile1]

No there right I checked. crazy its been 5 years I just ordered new ones and will make a new updated video of this but they have held up for a long time

[@clayanderson4058]
