How To Change a Mountain Bike Tire and Inner Tube (Bicycle tyre lever set) 2024

[@karlshewchuk6463]

All other tutorial videos should take notes on this one! No annoying music, no rambling on about nothing for 10 minutes before actually getting to anything. Just straight to the point and informative. Thank you for this one!

[@Mazon99]

Karl Shewchuk Hi Karl thanks for watching and the positive feedback :)

[@Havaseet2]

Love this kind of visual instruction. It's not some blow hard telling us his epic "story" of the flat tire episode. No trying to be clever and funny. No distracting background music. Excellent job. This is all you need.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Havaseet2, great to hear that you find with the video concept usable, thanks for the feedback and watching.

[@benmiller8228]

Thank you! Perfect video, well shot, not someone rambling for 5 min like most vids, and straight to the point. Much appreciated..

[@Mazon99]

Thanks Ben for your feedback..

[@elvijsk]

When I was a kid my father always helped me with this stuff. I actually never payed much attention on how he did it. Now when I've moved out I tried to do it myself for the first time. It was a big struggle with almost no tools, but at the end I did it. Now I'm proud of myself :D

[@Mazon99]

elvijsk Hi elvijsk thanks for sharing your storie and watching my video, good job with the tire task, its never to late to learn new stuff/skills :)

[@taylordobbs]

As someone who has changed a few tires over the year and just wanted a quick refresher, I really appreciate the straightforward, to-the-point style of this video.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Taylor thanks for the feedback and watching!

[@jadealone]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making it a no nonsense straight to the point video & speeding up the redundant parts. Most video start with 5 minutes of yapping before they even get to the action.

[@Mazon99]

Hi jadealone, thanks for the good feedback and watching :)

[@ewjtri3984]

I appreciate you showed all the key elements to changing the tire. No fluff.

[@Mazon99]

Hi ewj tri, your welcome and thanks for watching/feedback.

[@GoNoles8493]

I'm about to change my front and back mtn bike tires for the first time. I think this video will help out quite a bit, thanks!

[@larrys8150]

Maybe they should teach public schools this way. No talking, have the students guess what/why/how. Dont be so lazy!

[@omicronceti6063]

I see some people complain because of non verbal presentation but this is actually very good video. The only and important verbal comment was "rotation" of the tyre. Appreciate your time to demonstrate this!

[@Mazon99]

Hi Aleksander your welcome, thanks for the feedback I appreciate that, and thanks for watching!

[@andrewwingert1739]

For me, this was easier to understand than any other video I watched because of showing everything instead of telling. This guy has it down: essentials come first, and details come later. Thank you!

[@Mazon99]

Thanks Andrew for the feedback and watching!

[@admirskopic9579]

Only thing he missed for me was advising what gear to be in when popping the wheel off

[@julianledger9373]

You have given me the confidence to try myself, ipad in one hand, bike in the other ! Thank you.

[@Mazon99]

Julian Ledger Hi Julian I'm glad to hear that, yes long live tablets and smartphones, thanks for watching!

[@carolholliday7928]

Very simple, straightforward and to the point. Thanks for the help! I managed to change a tube which I had never done in 50+ years of riding. Evidently moving to a cold climate must have weakened the stem and tube integrity because it was inflated and just fine 7 mos ago where I used to live. Thanks again Mazon99.

[@Mazon99]

+Carol Holliday ...Hi Carol you are very welcome good job replacing the tube, thanks for sharing your experience and feedback, I was out driving in the woods today on my mountain bike and punctured the rear tire, replace the tube and continued my ride :)

[@ranthony5825]

Excellent how-to vid. step by step made it easy. changed my MB tire in under 10 min. saved me a lengthy walk back to my car.

[@Mazon99]

+Robert Anthony ..Hi Robert, I am glad that my video was helping you, thanks for positive words and watching!

[@dixienormous113]

thanks, helped me out a lot. wasn't quite sure what order to put the tube in and if it should be partially filled or not. now i am. everything went smooth. changed my road slicks back to mountain tires for winter after busting my ass several times in snow/slush/ice

[@Mazon99]

***** Hi Anita, your welcome, thanks for sharing your experience, hope you have better grib in soil now..

[@cathysorich4843]

OMG Thank you for not talking the entire time!!!!!!! This was the most useful video I have seen to date.

[@Mazon99]

Cathy Sorich Hi Cathy thanks for the feedback, I use the teaching method from the Army called (show, explaining, practice) and here it is without explanation!!

[@mikebarrett8681]

This one did it for me, hadn’t changed a bike tyre for years, thought the tyre was too big! Doing one side first made all the difference 🍻

[@Mazon99]

You got it Mike, glad that the video could help you, thanks for watching!

[@reportingsjr]

The tip about getting more slack in the tire saved me! Thank you so much, I've wondered in the past couple of times why I've had so much trouble getting tires on!

[@Mazon99]

Hi Jon.. your very welcome, glad it could help, thanks for watching..

[@RedheadedAmarillo]

Thanks a whole lot for making this video Mazon99. I have watched a number of other videos on how to change a tire and inner tube, but yours was by far means the best! You covered all of the details which really helped me out a lot.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Amarillo, I am very glad to hear that the video helped you, thanks for the feedback and watching!

[@stevemenez9122]

Brilliant! Total newbie and got puncture on rear wheel on my first ride - this made it easy to deal with. Thanks a lot!

Excellent. Right to the point. Very well shot. Video quality is excellent. No need for narration when the visuals tell you what you need to know.

[@Mazon99]

Thanks Josh for the feedback..

[@Russxm]

a video is worth ...a thousand words! excellent job mate, simple and straight forward.

[@robertcasey2920]

Thanks for keeping it quiet and still giving us everything we needed to know. Much better than all the distracting chatter.

[@Mazon99]

+Robert Casey.... Thanks for watching and the feedback I appreciate it!

[@richardleadbeater4486]

Thank you, excellent video. For once I wasn't distracted by mind-numbing narrative and discussion.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Richard, I am glad to hear that you can use the video and the non narrative concept, thanks for feedback and watching.

[@ryanfrizzell736]

Nice video. With this information I can better manage my inner tubes and keep them fit for the road. Thanks

[@Mazon99]

You are very welcome, glad the video helped, thanks for stopping by.

[@jeffreyhopkins424]

Excellent video for someone who has never changed a tire before. Although, I would like to see how you re-mounted the tire back into the derailer so quickly! Thanks for the great vid.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Sneaky...your welcome, I am glad that you like the video, thanks for watching and comments!

[@burningrabbitacres8330]

Slow down the replay of the vid, like I needed to, and see it in super slo-mo...

[@TrailRecordingsINC]

helped me with getting my tire changed and also helped me with some confusion on replacing the wheel..tyty for this!

[@burningrabbitacres8330]

Thank you, bro. You were there when I needed you. Peace and love in the time of virus.

[@Mazon99]

Yes it is strange times, thanks god we have KZbin for 'how to' and entertainment vids, thanks for stopping by, take care.

[@richardknott2021]

Very good demo...I have not changed a tire in 30 years...thanks.

[@Mazon99]

Richard Knott Thanks Richard I'm glad to hear that, thanks for warching!

[@glennonjd]

Superb - I was really apprehensive about approaching this job - especially handling the gears when removing and putting the wheel back. A really useful video - thanks for taking the time to help others with this very clear instruction video filled with great advice and tips.

[@Mazon99]

John Glennon Hi John, your welcome and thanks for sharing your thoughts about about the job, who dares wins.

[@tbeeBabylove]

Awesome vid! Zoomed in at important parts, fast forwarded the boring ones, and mute so I could focus on changing the tire instead of listening to bullshit. Thanks!

[@Mazon99]

+tbeeBabylove Hi tbeebabylove your welcome, thanks for watching and your feedback, i appreciate it :)

thank you so much for posting this video. I feel confident that I can change my own tire since I'm on DIY budget

[@Mazon99]

I am glad that my video can help you...

[@samwalker3212]

Jeez, I've never seen anyone still hearing comments 6 years after publishing... Good job. Nice vid by the way

[@Mazon99]

Yes time is running fast, thanks for the feedack and watching :)

[@iheartbinary]

Thanks for this, I've never changed my own tire but I'm gonna give it a shot today!

[@Mazon99]

iheartbinary Your welcome iheartbinary, hope your tire change went well, thanks for watching :)

[@iheartbinary]

Mazon99 My experience: Walmart sold me a used tire of the wrong size in the wrong box so I returned it for a full refund. I then went to my local bike shop and they sold me a pair of correct tires, even better, upgraded from off road tires to street tires for only $5 more per tire. They even taught me how to clean my chain using only lubricant! Lesson learned, go to your local bike shop first!

[@BrenanLow]

After I replace the inner tube on my own. I think something is missing and I drop by here only realise that, there still so many more for improvement! Thanks for sharing!

[@Mazon99]

+Brenan Low Hi Brenan your welcome, thanks for watching..

[@krixsful]

Had to watch the video after I blew out my new tubes yesterday, great video by the way.

[@Mazon99]

Christian Angeles Thanks Christian, hope that your bicycle is running again!

[@OGmolton1]

yes, thank you, needed to see how a derailleur needs to be when putting a rear tire back on and this video was very helpful, for a road bike even!

[@Mazon99]

+OGmolton1 Your welcome OGmolton1 I am glad to hear that you like my video, thanks for watching!

[@brucec43]

Thanks, I had forgotten several of the steps, wanted to be ready for a flat now that I'm riding again.

[@Mazon99]

Your welcome..yes always be ready for at flat tire, thanks for watching!

[@f140175]

An awesome and useful video that leads me thinking of to change the tires by myself.

[@Mazon99]

Hi f140175.. thanks for the feedback hope your tire change went well..

[@Goddessღ]

Thanks this really helped me a lot replacing my old tire and tube. I even did the spit thing like you and it worked lol. 6000/10 much thanks much love!!!

[@Mazon99]

Hi, I'm glad the video could help you, thanks for stopping by!

[@Goddessღ]

@@Mazon99 It definitely did! I'm so happy I can ride my bicycle again C:

[@robward367]

Many thanks, can't believe how easy it was. But I put the wheel back and brake disc possibly catching, twanging noise, as the wheel turns? But only slight, maybe I knocked the disc. Thanks again

[@RyoYashimura]

thanks for this guide... tomorrow will change my mtb new tyre..already worn out the old one..

[@Mazon99]

Thanks Ryo i'm glad to hear that the video can help :)

[@mattbur1445]

[@Mazon99]

Thanks matt bur I am glad to hear that...

[@gagewest8387]

Omg thank you, I used to take my bike to this one bike shop to get my tire fixed and it cost $50. But I didn't know it was this easy lol. Thank you

[@Mazon99]

+gage west ...Hi gage west.. you are very welcome, and thanks for watching my video!

[@billwells7023]

Great stuff. Would never have know about the gear down or how to release the lever on the one side of the bike to get the tire off. Great job. Pumping the tube slightly I would never have thought of. the couple times I did a tire I had all kinds of problems getting the tube in right.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Bill thanks for the feedback and watching, great to hear that my video can help you!

[@DivineZeal]

thanks this helped me other than most videos! and I was doing this with my bike upside down

[@joeh8268]

I don't do well with instructional videos without commentary. If I can't find one on youtube, I'll come back to this. I'm sure it's a good video, but I like to hear a person walking me through it.

[@Mazon99]

Hi Joe, you are always very welcome back to my youtube channel!

You made it look alot easier than I did lol

[@revm4683]

Two excellent points to pay attention to that I did not know. Thank you.

[@Mazon99]

Hi R Min.. Your welcome and thanks for watching!

[@kenibnanak5554]

I love how all the bikes in you tube videos have little levers for this and that vs my old Huffy MB that has an ancient thing called a rusty nut instead. :)

[@Mazon99]

Hi Ken, yes these little levers makes it much easier to handle the wheels, thanks for watching :)

[@timsmit6685]

Sweet vid! Probably saved me some money. I do have a question though... Can I use the same inner tube if I just want to change the tire to enhance traction...? Tnx again.

[@OfficialFedHater]

Yes

[@Mazon99]

Hi Tim...your welcome, thanks for watching and comments!

[@HitmonleeDeluxe]

Thanks, this shall be a nice reference video for when I replace my back tire today.

Thanks HitmonleeDeluxe, I'm glad that you find the video useful, hope your tire replacement went well :)

[@HitmonleeDeluxe]

It went quite well, :D

oh, and the silent treatment was just fine with me as it makes the watcher watch very carefully

[@sumka5919]

Really when I saw this I was like how come ever single FUCKING PERSON has a 3000$ bike like holy fuck I’m just trying to fix my stupid wheel I’m just gonna go steal a bike right away fuck

[@hapesol12]

Is it possible to only change the spike tires, and not the inner tub? Cool video, very helpful!!! it's almost winter here.

[@Mazon99]

hapesol12 Hi hapesol12, yes it is possible, I would personally replace the inner tube also, and thanks for watching!

[@MacheteLopez]

Thanks for uploading the video, I had a flat tire today and I replaced it I checked 2 hours later and it was flat again I don't know what I did wrong, I'll keep this in mind.

[@Mazon99]

MacheteLopez Hi MacheteLopez thanks for watching and sharing your experience, maybe you did not check the bike tire thoroughly to find the cause of the puncture!!

[@Mikeyboy78]

Just about to start riding a MTB and I think this has whats stopped me from starting earlier and being a complete noob lol. Great Vid.

[@Mazon99]

Mike Smith Hi Mike, MTB is a great sport for all people..

[@lalauyyeye9446]

[@andywatson1029]

Just fixed my son's bike. Thanks!

[@Mazon99]

Your welcome Andy, glad that your son have a working bike now!

[@larrytate1657]

You have to make sure you put the chain back on the same gear/sprocket it comes off from right?

[@Mazon99]

Hi Larry, that will be optimal but it is ok if the chain jump some gear/sprocket until it find the correct one, thanks for watching.

[@NickConn]

This video just saved me mid-ride. tire fell off. thanks!!!

[@Mazon99]

Hi Nick your welcome, thanks for watching!

Hi Jun I am glad that my video can help you, thanks for watching..

[@baddriversofmoosejaw8681]

Thanks for the video. Need to change my tubes. They just won't hold air anymore. Haven't rode my bike for years. I wish I could get tubeless, but I hear those are expensive and only for racing bikes.

[@Mazon99]

Your welcome Joel, good luck with your tube change!

[@bakidean3278]

incredible i have a Norco thats tube got popped so this was extremely helpful

Good and helpful video, easy to see all the steps, thanks for posting it.

[@Mazon99]

LFC303606 I'm glad to hear that LFC303606, thanks for watching!

[@Ecksterphono]

Now I don't know whether this is a good practice. Tinker Juarez had a method where he would put a bit of talcum powder inside the tire to prevent the tube from sticking to the tire or chafing under extreme riding conditions. My worry about this is, is there a risk that the tire and tube assembly would spin on the rim causing stem damage? Because then it's not slip resistant. What do you think of this method?. I see you have the presta valve stem with a stem lock nut.

[@MuftakisWorld]

this video needs to get a LIKE well done

[@Mazon99]

Thanks a lot, have a great day.

[@myjoyonline.]

Thank you for this tutorial. You saved me from paying another to change my tube.

[@Mazon99]

+myjoyonline ...Hi myjoyonline you are very welcome and thanks for watching!

[@crakdatsoda1]

Does the tube have to be inflated as you put it in, or can you assemble it first and then pump it like you normally would?

[@Mazon99]

Hi Chris..just pump a very small amount of air into the bicycle tube before mounting, I show it in the video 4:16

[@crakdatsoda1]

+Mazon99 yep, didnt have a pump at the time, but got it all figured out now. Your video really helped!

[@Bhoy_2020]

Good video once I figured out what I was doing wrong it worked out fine 👍

[@Mazon99]

Hi Anthony...glad to hear it worked out for you and thanks for watching.

[@jessieisallin]

My front wheel was recently punctured is it OK if I just replaced the tubing? Not the exterior rubber.

[@Mazon99]

Jessie Lalicon Hi Jessie, yes it is ok..

[@antisocialgamer1599]

Thanks for the help. I dunno why I find it so tricky to change a tube.

[@MrRabi001]

Sir, what was the region behind changing tire. The old tire seems like new and in good condition!

[@Mazon99]

Dear Rabi, the tires were old and tender, it was a period when I was participating in Mountain Bike Races so the equipment and tires had to be in super good condition, thanks for watching!

[@eceismailoglu4471]

Thank you so much. First time changing the wheel. It went smooth :)

[@Mazon99]

+Ece İsmailoğlu ..Hi Ece.. Your welcome...great to hear that it went smooth, thanks for watching :)

[@garrettbirkel7750]

Handy tip: If you get the tire almost all the way on and the last section is way too tight to get over the rim, you need to get more slack in the tire. Start at the opposite side, and go around the part of the tire that's already in place, compressing it and pushing the edges down into the rim so it gets as far in there as possible. You'll end up with more slack in the section that's not mounted, and then you can usually get it over the rim by pushing it with the edge of your tire lever. Now you don't have to be He-Man to get a tire on. :D

[@Mazon99]

Garrett Birkel Hi Garrett that's a very good and well described handy tip you are bringing to the table, thanks for sharing :)

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

Yes, that helps, and also let out the air in the inner tube if it is too full it won't help. Next, stand up the wheel so that the opposite side of the problem area is standing on the floor. Push down to provide that extra slack and press in the rest of the tyre.

[@wymit354]

What is it you put on the tire when trying to squeeze the tire into the track, vaseline?

[@Mazon99]

It is a little bit of water, thanks for stopping by.

[@jaredlokay]

So, vid is straight forward. My first tire went on fine. The second doesn't look like the tire chord is seating properly into the rim near the innter tube valve. I can't seen to get it all the way down. New rims, tires and tubes. Suggestions?

[@Mazon99]

+Jared Lokay.... Hi Jared If your valve has a nut, then you should wait to screw the nut on the valve until the tube and tires are properly in place, maybe that was the reason !!

[@jaredlokay]

+Mazon99 No, that was not it. the tire cord was not seating into the rim lip where the tube valve goes through the rim. I played around with it until it seated. There were no seen pinches or obstructions. I wasn't sure if it was a common issue with a simple technique to resolve, or if I should investigate a defective tire or rim.

[@Mazon99]

+Jared Lokay Great that you had solved the issue with simple technique,, it happens sometimes it can be tricky when the tire gets mounted in the area where the valve goes through the rim..

[@Snailmailtrucker]

I haven't changed a tire on a Bicycle since I was about 11 years old. I'll be 71 next week ! The only thing that has me confused is this NewFangled Air Valve... How do I fit it to my air Compressor ? Thanks Dude....your Video was Great ! Liked/Subscribed !

[@Mazon99]

It never to late to start up again, hope you find a solution for an adapter to your Air Compressor, thanks for the Like, Sub and watching :)

[@affansiru7646]

I saw u were using presta valve. Is it Presta valve is better use compare with Shrader?

[@Mazon99]

Hi affan siru, I am very satisfied with using Presta valve, my experience is that they are very durable, I always buy inner tubes with Presta valve when it is about biking, road biking and mountain biking etc. Schrader valve info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve Presta valve info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presta_valve Presta and Shrader valve: Presta vs schrader valves

[@Mazon99]

Good video explanation for the difference between the two types of Presta and Shrader valves: Schrader Valves, Presta Valves, and Presta Valve Adapters Adaptors--Madison Bicycle Shop, Madison NJ

[@mef1975]

I was trying to put a 26" tube on my rim, intended for 26" tire, and there was like 3" of slack. I thought they had sent me an irregular tube, or even the wrong size rim, but the tube does compare to a different 26" I had, and the rim does compare to another rim I had (22.5"), I'm so weirded out... Aren't tubes suppose to fit snug on a rim, before putting on the tire? Heck, mine wont even stay on the rim, flat, or full of air, it just falls off. I wonder what's up with that. I'm now thinking of trying a 24" tube, but can't find one that's self sealing, and with presta valve.

[@Mazon99]

mef1975 Hi mef1975 thanks for sharing your story, hope you have solved the problem, maybe this chart/link can help: www.bikecalc.com/wheel_size_math

[@Angus1966]

mef1975 OK. I find it easier to put some air in the innertube , just enough to take form , still very soft ,put the tube on first . then put the tyre on then inflate tube. The easy way is what works for you.

[@SohailKhan-tv2ox]

Can any1 answer this? I’ve currently got a rear wheel which is 29 x 2.0 (front wheel is 29 x 2.2) if I replaced the rear wheel with a new 29 x 2.2 tire would it work and would I also have to change the tube

[@Mazon99]

Hi Sohail K, I have 26 x 2.25 rear and front and it is working fine, you can reuse the old tube..
