I wrestled with a tire for ages in my garage, and could NOT figure out how to complete it. This was the only video I found that clearly showed how to get the tube in, and align the valve stem, and then get the tire back on. Once I did it exactly as you show here, it was easy peasy. I swear my neighbors almost saw a grown man cry in his garage..... and finally got the darn thing on thanks to this. Thank you!!

I changed the rear tire on my 2006 KLX 250s Dual Sport on Monday, and it was a tough one. It had been a couple of years since I changed a tire and it took me 2 hours, and according to this video I did at least 4 things wrong. WOW! Putting the tube inside the tire before getting one side of the tire on the rim....DOH! Now I know. I'm saving this video in my favorites. The Kenda Trackmaster II is a really stiff tire as well as the Kenda Extra Heavy Duty tubes which are 3 times as thick as normal tubes, man it was a bear to get on. I'm glad I don't have to mess with rim locks, my bike doesn't have enough power with my weight to ever spin a tire, 17,000 miles and I've never had a flat tire. Thanks for this video.

Putting the inner tube into the tire first and then only fitting both into the rim, is the right method to use. Using dish washing liquid as a lubricant is also a must to effectively help the tires to fit onto the rim. Thank you for freely sharing your expertise with others.

During the summer months. I would leave the tire out in the sun for a while to soften up the rubber. It made it a little easier to change. Every little bit helps.

A tire stand that brings it up so you are not bent over getting sore doing what can be an aggravating job a lot easier. Get 3 good spoons, all kinds of styles, and the bead buddy helps too. Just keep it all in the box the stand comes in along with the baby powder and spray bottle with dawn and water and a valve stem insert tool and maybe even the Allen wrench the stand needs for assy. It's all together and takes all the searching for this and that stress out of it. Great video here, lots of suttle style tips, watch close.

My recent Shinko 244 tube type rear is in the garage 3/4 of the way on the rim and will not go any further. I'm thinking my heavy duty tube is taking up too much room inside so the tire can't slip down into the center of the rim. And now it's 40 degrees F outside so I have to wait for warm weather to take it off and switch tubes. Argh.

@@rhllnm Heat the tire with a heat gun or a hair dryer. Also, use plenty of lube. In our shop we use Dawn mixed with water in a spray bottle. SOAK HER DOWN!!! I install heavy duty tubes for our customers all the time. Much harder to work with for sure but the tube isn't stopping the tire from being spooned on. Opposite side of the tire where you are spooning needs to be pushed down into the center of the rim. Kneel on it or get someone to stand on it. Once again, SOAK HER DOWN with lube inside and out of the tire.

za duża dętka to prawie pewne przetarcie po kilkuset kilometrach ponieważ dętka pracuje w oponie. Czasem złe zamontowanie powoduje, że zrobi się fałda nawet na dedykowanej dętce, zagniecenie, jeśli dodamy mało talku w oponie to kaplica. Uwaga również na szczypiące felgi i opony oraz mocowania szprych. W oponach typu mitas C2 warto też zaiwestować w trzymaki - niskie ciśnienie w oponie ( ja miałem 0,8 Atmosfery) w terenie to prawdziwe złoto ale zdarzyło mi się że opona obróciła się na feldze i uszkodziła mocowanie wentyla. to samo stanie się z za małą dętką - jest prawdopodobieństwo że nie będzie wystarczająco dolegać do fali i obróci.
