EASIEST Onewheel XR+ Tire Change - Step by Step w/ Jeff McCosker

[@carboncut]

14:18 aligning paint with valve stem on Enduro tire results in reverse rotation for directional tread; many comments out there that reversed tire is not an issue however. All in all a good video and tire changed worked on a late version of XR that had one additional connector harness than video, aside from the alignment/rotation with Enduro.

[@SuperCaz88]

This video inspired me to do the tire swap myself. I was absolutely thrilled when my tire arrived from TFL shop with a ton of awesome swag that Brandon threw in for me with a hand-written note! I couldn't believe all the cool stuff you guys sent, custom Brodi Pokémon card, TFL rolling papers, stickers, iron-ons,a koozie, a stress ball, a key chain, a bracelet and a sweet Float Life tire cap. You guys are my heroes. Mad love from Texas. For those of you who may be like me and thought that this was a little above your comfort level; I would encourage you to press on, the video walks you through absolutely every step, when in doubt watch it again. I can't stress enough how much easier taking off the Vega tire is when you follow the exact instructions Jeff lays out in the video and you'll be home free.

[@kevincannon9564]

Ok now people realize this video is a service that will change your onewheel life. Thanks man

[@craigkovatch7564]

Notes for things I missed or was confused by in the video: * the anti-fatigue mat as a surface for kneeling and protecting the hub is a MUST * Pedro's tire levers also deserve to be called out, was able to get some locally from REI for $6 * If you happen to use green Slime brand sealant, the underside of the cap has a valve core removal tool built in * wooden blocks should support the edges of the rim, not just the tire, because you don't want that rim (or cable) getting smashed into the floor during your stomp * the stomp takes some force, but not a crazy amount. it's about follow-through more than hitting it really hard. * not tightening the hub bolts fully until the axle cover plates are on * my tire initially wasn't pressurizing at all, I had to kinda smush it around until I heard the air compressor start to work harder * I used Sprayway glass cleaner as a lube, which worked perfectly. one side set at about 30psi, the other about 45psi

[@FAB1150]

My stock Vega took an absurd amount of force to un-seat, I ended up standing on top of the wooden post and jumping. It was a chore The Enduro I put on is a LOT softer, especially the sidewalls. It set at 15psi (about 17psi for the other side) for me, and it was a whole lot easier to un-seat (I tried with it too, to see if it was me or the Vega lol). In the end, it's not too bad, but I'll get the proper tool next time lol

[@lm7512]

Just got a new Maxxis 6.5 on my XR with this video's guidance. That whole "finesse with the tire lever, tire in the channel" thing was a TOTAL lifesaver. Thanks!

[@grahamhoskins3023]

Never done something like this but I did it thanks to this video!!!

[@freefallpilot]

"Don't forget to to turn your tab so you know which beer is yours!" BRO! I've been doing this for years and never met anyone else who does this! I literally just yelled at my screen 😂

[@TheFloatLife]

Hahahahaha! When I first got to Sac, Jeff and I turned our beers the same way and had to have an old western standoff to choose who switched. I now turn my beers to the left instead of the right 😂😂😂🤙 -BH

[@Q5000]

Plot twist, you did meet somebody who does this, and you drank their beer.

[@suburbanme2783]

I’ve done that for 20 years

[@magic_steve]

I've usually met at least 2 other people at every gathering I went to that did this lol.

[@MoikeOI]

Dude my hole stem popped out! So I’m like let’s watch a video on how to put it back in…… long story (very) short, looks like I’m paying for shipping and handling 😅

[@liamtory6081]

Just finished replacing my stock tire with the Burris trail pro tire. If I had to give folks tips I would say that the hardest part by far is getting the new tire entirely on the hub. Something that helps significantly is getting the painted side hot, hotter than you think because it makes it easier to move and then try really hard. Best of luck too all you future tire changers out there!!! -o-

[@ianneyens]

Trail pro all the way. I have been needing a new tire. Float Life is the best!

[@mwest3583]

You know how to make a video. Super clear, good pace, thorough, just the right kind of loose & funny.

[@TheFloatLife]

I appreciate that!

[@sathonys1064]

That Xtra Rad for my pint would be awesome eliminating those wobbles! Float on!

[@mitchbryant1215]

Best Onewheel tire change video out there ! I’ve probably watched your previous tire change video 10 times . I can’t wait to try the TFL Trail Pro tire !!

[@TheFloatLife]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tyoiben]

I need that Xtra Rad for my commute! Took my sister in from Tennessee to help her get out of an abusive relationship and am letting her use my car! This tire would make my commute waaaaay more enjoyable!!! PS y’all are awesome!!!!

Just completed my first tire change...have the Enduro on my XR....looking forward to riding, Thanks Jeff..couldn't have done it without this video!!!!!

[@tun6twista]

Oh for sure that new 🔥 trail pro!

[@chasepennel2148]

I’ve watched this video so many times for all my tire swaps, and I’ll get frustrated with whatever’s going on and watching this video, all the movements in combination with the music is just so relaxing and satisfying

[@ejacosta9928]

Oh the trail pro is a must have for my pint. Lots of trail around where I live that I haven't been able to explore with the stock tire.

[@TheFloatLife]

Ej Acosta trail Pro is XR. The XtraRad is for the Pint.

@@TheFloatLife oh man, does that mean I have to get an XR?

[@ratpiss]

I would cherish that trail tire shredding in Colorado. That Onewheel in the video has a nice color scheme!

[@benwilliams8151]

Awesome video! Just received my Whisper 6 and had no idea how to change the tire. Jeff makes it look so easy that I was sure it would be much harder than it looked. I'm so stoked that by following this video exactly, the tire change was a breeze! Thank you so much for the video Jeff!!

Stoked we could lend a helping hand!

Oh man that is awesome.....I need this offroad trail tire. Sweet treads.... great video man!!

Just swapped my own tire thanks to this. Very well done instructions.

Absolutely best OneWheel tire change tutorial. I definitely need the XtraRad Tire - Pint 🍻 I want a more stable ride. The Pint is just a little to squirrely for me.

[@TheFloatLife]

RichieRichTube sounds like the XtraRad is right up your alley

[@SkinnyDude03]

I dont have an XR otherwise id love the new tire! I do have a pint however and will look to you guys when I need to buy a new tire!

[@znzn100]

I want that new Burris TFL Trail Pro because Float Life is awsummm 👌🏻

[@speed86style]

Offroad on the Onewheel XR is super fun and a new threaded tire would make it whole new more fun experience:)

[@ynotsammy]

Just performed my first tire change thanks to you Jeff. Was actually insanely easy

[@gfavio539]

That Burris looking good! Hope i win the new Burris for my XR!

Love rippin trails and the Burris x TFL Trail Pro looks like it'll be my must have tire.

[@jray8230]

Hey Jeff! Thanks for making sweet blue float plates! My favorite color. Anyway need that new trail tire so I can run from zombies. This corona has me thinking like walking dead is becoming more real.

[@willbrandt8618]

I know a guy whose been riding a t11 for quite some time, he’s the best kid in the neighborhood, although the lore is often misunderstood, he had to forge his own floating beams, to enable the tires seams, to fit between his foot pads, for the ride of his dreams. For this balanced blend, and perfect tend, enabled him to nudge, over things I (a mere mortal) could never recommend, through these actions he has shown many another that this floating lifestyle is far more than a trend, a device from the future that fiction will never quite comprehend.

[@TheFloatLife]

Will Brandt the nudge part blew your cover 🤣🤣 what up dude!

[@KarlBishopForReal]

I'm super jazzed about the new TFL Trail Pro! My current tire is starting to show its age, and the time to change is near. Great video BTW.

Thanks, Jeff! I just installed a new Enduro tire on my XR for the first time. This video was super useful!

[@TheFloatLife]

Glad it helped!

[@ridersblock]

New OW rider here! I recently bought some of your plates and sidekicks to protect a lightly used V1 (36 original miles) I've already doubled the miles in less than a week. Super stoked about the mini paper airplane kit and beer cozy sent with my order! The original owner must have floated on 5 psi, since he had it because the tire seems warped after I inflated it to 20psi, and wobbles at anything over 10 mph. With the plates and sidekicks installed, my V1 looks almost pristine minus the old vega tire. A fresh Trail Pro or Xtra Rad tire would totally inflate my new love for the OW. Already considering purchasing an XR or Two-X battery to extend the range so I can float further! Thanks for your consideration, Richmond V

My XR won't even be here for another week but I already ordered this tire and the pro tool kit from C&R. Sounds like that stock tire lasts a long time tho. Thx for the vid! Super SUPER helpful!!

I did this thing two days ago, and now youtube algorithm tells that there is a video. I could have saved an hour of my time sweating while wresting with the old vega. Oh well, good video for others.

Thanks, followed this video to help me do my first tire change. Went from the stock Vega to Burris Trail Pro, it is sweeet. Thanks for the video, getting the tire off by smacking that wood eas especially helpful :) Got scary when I was pumping it as the psi increased but it poped in there. Can't wait to really test it out. Thanks guys.

i always ride on parks where there is a lot of grass, and the vega slick tire makes it a little harder if there is little hill to climb and also i find the tires with tread much more robust end beautiful on onewheel. I've seen a video where this guys said that the onewheel is much more maneuverable with this burris treaded tire. thanks!!!

Jeff, of course I'm already subscribed, and Yes, I need my 4th tire | (burned up 1 vega at 1,800, and 1 burris at 3,600, 2nd burris at over 5,700 miles), need that new Burris Treaded, and probably new bearings too! Need get out to the shop.

This was a great tutorial. Got the Hoosier T2 from you. I have like 4 sets of Allen wrenches, they all went into hiding. Took apart the board, didn't realize how much mud gets in there. Did the two board tire stomp that was fun. A little struggle, popped the tire and go green goo all over me like I just took a Bukake from The Hulk. New tire slid on in and popped at 55 PSI. I didnt have a valve stem remover so I poured in the goo from the bead area then inflated. Then deflated to 18 PSI .
