How to change your rear tire on the road - even a very difficult one!

[@BlackThor15]

What an awesome video Henriette. Mechanical issue? No problem, let's go: get relaxed, no gloves, flip flops, a few tools, a bit of swearing and that's how it's done. You're truly an amazing and inspiring traveler on 2 wheels, well done!! Keep it up, you're doing great! 👍👍

[@ForTheLoveOfWheels]

Awwww! Thanks a lot Nelio, what a lovely comment! 😊😊😊

[@johnanderson4903]

I am very impressed. I recently fitted one of the Mitas tyres on the 21 inch front of my DR650. It was the second hardest tyre I have fitted in 52 years of riding. It really was tough. To get the bead up on the rim took over 4.5 bar sitting overnight in front of a heater. Honestly that tyre was a killer. As a comment I'd always use heavier boots to keep the tyre down in the bead and start to fit opposite the valve. Plus sometimes I have had to use a big G clamp to break the bead when removing the old tyre. To be honest my tyre was such a fight that as I head into my 70s I think maybe I'm just going to have to pay to get it done in future. But it sure was good to see someone young still doing in real life. I'm impressed.

[@ForTheLoveOfWheels]

Awww! Thanks a lot for that comment. Mitas sure is a struggle!

[@johnstaring3210]

I agree about fitting opposite the valve first, it allows the bead to drop further into the well of the rim therby giving you more tyre to work with. and you don't risk damaging the valve at its interface with the tube. When you finally get to drop the bead into the rim at the valve make sure you push the valve tool inwards so the tube does not get trapped under the bead. I have fitted the same tyres to my Yamaha SuperTenere and am impressed with their longevity, but not their ease of fitting though not as hard as Motoz Tractionator GPS. I also balance my tyres even on my adventure bikes. Great and entertaining video, good on you for making the effort, at least now if you strike trouble on the trail you will have that experience and be much wiser.

I'm just about to attempt to mount the same Mitas. You are an inspiration! Just did it. Was so pleased with myself until I realised that I had pinched punctured the tube. I then enlisted my wife's help to spoon it on for the second time. And I made the same mistake with the spacer on refitting 🥵😂

I’m a 66yo male & helped by another, a 16yo & both of us had no experience & was able to extract old tire but gave up after 45mins w a new tire wc is hardly flexible. We gave up & just took tire to an expert who did it in 3mins alone. My Honda xr125 w 17’s on the rear. I attached a mt60 pirelli tire wc also is made of hard compound. You motivated me to attempt again another day. You are so nice always managing to smile. I was cursing for the whole time in attaching new tire. Be safe & hope to keep on watching your beautiful vlogs

I worked in a shop in Skagen, Denmark with forklift tires and that Mitas was as hard to rut on as forklift rubber. Good job Henriette and big thanks for this video!!!

[@johnstaring3210]

Remember that if you are having trouble out on the trail when attempting to break the bead off the rim you can carefully balance the bike whilst putting the rim under the side stand and using the foot of the sidestand as a press.

Actually, it is reassuring to see you struggle a bit. Most tire videos make it look so easy that I wonder why it is so difficult for me to change a tire. Thank you.

[@motonoob-i2d]

Enjoyed your vid. It helped me change the rear on my T7 for the first time.

[@650thumper]

Nice instructional video. I just struggled with a rear Dunlop Trailmax Mission tire today. Impossible! Manufacturers are making them so stiff these days they clearly don't care about those of us who still use tubes and tire irons. With offset spoked wheels on the newer and more expensive bikes, the market is catering to tubeless. And street riders just get it done at a shop because they are less remote.

[@ernieschatz3783]

It's almost worth a run to the hardware store for C clamps. Patience was your virtue here. I laughed when Big Rock Moto said he was "shade treeing" a tire change with a Harbor Freight fixture. What you did was truly shade tree. 👏👏

[@darrylpaterick3108]

Saw a really go tip on another chanel. Coat the tube with silicone spray. Makes it slippery and avoids pinching while installing with levers.

[@ForTheLoveOfWheels]

That's a good tip - if you can get it on the road.

[@janra8653]

Im just taking a brake from my garage changing my Mitas E07+. This is the third time I do this myself on this model of tires. I HATE IT !. But when they are on, they are great. Booth on asphalt and gravel. And they last long. Got to love them for that :)

Someone might have already mentioned this but if you don’t move the tyre levers more than 90 degrees to the wheel then you can’t pinch the inner tube. But some great tips there that I’m going to try on my Africa Twin tyres this week. 👍

[@ForTheLoveOfWheels]

[@HPaulAdrian]

Henriette is it? U deserve a big, big LIKE. Am impressed by u on so many levels. I specially appreciated that u took the 5 seconds to thank the old tire for all its prior services. I also thank my car (and God) after a long trip for getting me safe to my destination, so that's why I appreciated u thanking your old tire. But that was only the cherry/icing on the cake in this video! Big kudos to u!

[@whatsnext_42]

Today I changed my tires by myself for the first time since the '80s! I swapped out the Mitas E07 Dakar for a Mitas E09 Dakar on the rear and put a Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ on the front. I needed this boost of confidence for trail riding. I used the zip-tie method, and it worked great. The front tire (non-Dakar) went on without any issues, but the rear tire, the E09 Dakar, gave me a bit of a struggle-mainly because I tried installing it while it was cold. After letting it sit in the sun for an hour, I managed to get it on. I started off using a mix of dish detergent and water for lubrication, but eventually switched to silicone spray, which worked much better. Patience, warmth, and lubrication, those are the keys to success! (Just to clarify, I’m still talking about changing a tire! 😄😄)

[@eriklindhardsenact7596]

Great video one thing i use to keep the tyre beading down into the wheel is a couple of sockets to wedge between the tyre and wheel works really well and ang tight tyres will fit on easier.

[@BillySBC]

You need one of the Motion Pro Bead Buddy's to help hold one side of the tire into the drop center of the wheel while you spoon the other side on. Makes the job much easier.

[@jayadams9794]

I just did my rear tire on my dualsport super sherpa......omg what a battle.....i wish i knew about that valve stem fishing tool hahaha my knuckles were getting reeefed on. I changed mine for the same reason you did , it was old and i wanted to have the confidence to do it alone. I got it on but the back tire takes a little more patience than the front. I love your videos!

A great video. Just one extra tip. Remove the shrader valve before inflating to set the bead. This avoids resistance to the the inflator/pump. It works on both tubed and tubless tyres. Thanks again

[@dougnash6316]

Amazing work. I just installed some Shinko E705s after removing Conti Trail Attack IIs and both are challenging. I would not like to do this on the side of a road. The side walls are so stiff, to prevent pinch flats but if you mess up and pinch the tube doing a repair are you better off with an easier tire to begin with. The Metzler may be the better choice. I found that having some plywood blocks to keep the bead off the rim while spooning helps. 3/4" for the rear and 1/2" for the front. I slide them between the bead and the rim to keep the tire in the valley. One more tool but it helps. 👍👍

[@michaelschulz1671]

Well done! You correctly started dismounting the rubber at the valve, but did not finish there while mounting. You struggled a bit while the valve avoid the rubber to slip to the inner rim. You are doing well, your riding, filming, editing… just amazing. Thanks to share your journey. 👍

In July I'm off, from the UK to Albania and watching your video has made me feel a lot happier about fixing a puncture. I shouldn't have to replace a tyre as I've got new ones on for the trip.

I was waiting for rim guards. I scratched up my rims even with rim guards but I didn’t have the motion pro ones. But I have a street triple and that rear tire is very tough.

[@TornadoCAN99]

To avoid the struggle with the valve stem and eliminate the stem pulling tool, next time just place the tube into the tire before starting to put tire on the rim. Have enough air in the tube to keep its shape, obviously with the tube valve installed. Then when ready to fit tire to rim, pull out the tube near the valve, just enough to easily put the valve stem through the hole in the rim, and fit its retaining nut to keep it in place. Now stuff that short area of tube near the valve back into tire as much as possible and proceed to fit tire to rim as usual. With enough air in tube, the tube always stays far enough away from the tire bead when using the levers, much less chance of pinching the tube, making a hole.

[@ForTheLoveOfWheels]

Not sure this can be done with a Mitas, but sure worth the try

[@keesverhagen9227]

Hi from the Netherlands, That was quite some work on that "bitch". 🤭 I also love that tire. Together with the Bridstone AX41. Maybe i even like the AX41 a bit better. You showed it like it is in the field. That is what i really like of your video. And also explaining every step of the way. It is not a tire that you want to change when it is 5 degrees celsius and lower. You used great tools. But they are expensive. Sometimes strong zipties can help a lot. By putting them around the other side if the tire so the tire sides are pulled to the middle of the rim. Giving you a bit more space. Sometimes it gives that little bit of edge to pop the other side on. Greetings from the Netherlands.💪

I really like the ziptie idea!!!!

At the beginning of the video I was inspired, but after such a skillfull, knowledgeable person having trouble, and taking 47 minutes, I'm going to go with something that has tubeless! I mainly do road riding anyway, so tubed doesn't make much sense really. Thanks for helping me decide!

Hello Henriette I really enjoyed seeing someone else wrestle on with these for a change having just fitted a pair to my GS650 Dakar. I admire your restraint in the use of explitives because as you know these are very stiff. I found the front 90/90 21 much harder than the rear 130/80 17. I have found that the little spray bottle that I use to clean my visor with a little extra fairy is perfect for lubing up the tyre.

Finish setting up on other side, to prevent cutting your hands/arms on crown sprocket if shit hits the fan. i'm used to change tires super fast but last one was a ...joke : 6 pinches in tube, which I have never done before in my whole life and 1 hour to change it...

Amazing video, and gives me the confidence that it’s possible to replace difficult tyres on the trail. Difficult tyres in my books are the Mitas E-07 / Heidenau K60 / Dunlop Mission Trailmax with wooden sidewalls. My rear tyre is 150/70-17 tubeless. What was the elapsed time from start to end?

Wooden sidewalls........ Urgh! Sounds painful! I am not sure about the time. Probably 1-2 hours. But thats including filming and handling camera etc.

You will find breaking the bead harder with rims for tubeless tyres as they have extra impressions to hold the tyre in place but proper beadbreaker /levers do the job well. Just using normal levers is difficult plus you'll need a heavy hammer.

I use another bike’s side stand as a bead breaker.
