Installing a new bike tire and inner tube in 5 minutes

Yeah that literally flat tire made it a bit more difficult that the ones that have a normal tie shape. this video helped me from messing up the tire trying to figure out how to do it!

[@emberroberts3581]

At 44 years old, I did 2 things for the first time in my life today. . . Changed the tube on my bike tire and left a comment on a KZbin video. Thank you for the clear step-by-step instructions. The video did say 5 minutes and I took me probably an hour BUT I got it done and I feel accomplished! Back in the saddle again 😊

[@TheEclecticHandyman]

That's fantastic, glad it helped and you're able to get the bike fixed! Thanks for leaving the nice comment, and for watching!

[@pamelamiller7114]

Wow, super helpful! I've never done this before and this video helped me n my son out. He's proud of mommy for fixing his tires on his bike. Now to watch him enjoy his bike again, thank you!!

On a massive weight loss. My cuz recently gave me a bike to help further my progress.I refused to pay someone to do it for me and thought I should learn. I’ve watched a couple videos that just frustrated me. This one made putting new tires and tubes on my bike for the first time in my life a breeze! Thank you! I feel more competent than ever lol

[@TheEclecticHandyman]

Hey enjoy that bike, and glad it helped! 🛠️

[@michaelwood6457]

Also ensure the tire is mounted in the proper rotational direction. It's on the sidewall shown as the word rotation and with a directional arrow.

[@markyoungsmagic]

Thank you for the rotation tip, never realized there was one. Luckily I checked after installing a tube and got it right by luck.

[@pentiuman]

I heard, if you put in on faced the wrong way, you'll have 10 years of bad luck, maybe longer.

[@loafofbread1388]

Fantastic video! One watch and I'm gonna run to the shop to buy new tires (and inner tube). Had my mountain bike for 8 years, never replaced the tires. Just realized how bald they were last night after ripping through the forest. Thanks!

[@adobemastr]

I've been changing my own bike tires and tubes for almost 55 years with not too many issues....until I started buying tires online and then had them mailed to me in the same box as yours came in. Now, a job that was once fairly simple and straightforward has become a nightmarish impossibility. I can't get that tire onto the rim because, unlike when you would buy a bike and then one day the tires go flat, you remove the old tire, put in a new or patched tube, and put the old tire back on. The old tire is already round, or formed along the edges, and goes on the rim with little problem. But the new tires, the one that come in a box, don't have that nice formed channel (the tire bead) that fits right over the rim....the tire edges, or bead, is all flattened out and I can't "form" that bead to fit over the rim, even after repeatedly "pinching it" like you showed. It's been a real nightmare, but it looks like you figured it out. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

[@TheEclecticHandyman]

You know the tires I bought were also in a box, and I just pulled them out and kind of stretched them out by hand, and that seemed to work OK for me. I did add that little bit of air too 1st, which helped give it shape. Thanks for watching!

[@brainn3057]

My nightmare today. I filled up the inner tube in the new tire, then tried for 20 minutes to get the tire into the rim. I had to stop before I threw the rim across the garage in a rage. Looks like I'll try to put the inner tube on the rim first.

[@adobemastr]

@@brainn3057 I know how you feel, friend. Did your tire come in a box, all folded up? I think this is where the problem comes in. And I haven’t figured out a way to overcome those impossible bends in the tire from being folded up in the box.

[@davidcollier1207]

Fit one "bead" onto the rim first. Take care regarding tyre directional rotation and work on the non greasy side, that is away from the cassette. Then a little air into the tube, and fit it into position, as our Handyman says, keeping the valve straight in the hole in the rim. Then, starting from one point on the rim, work the remaining tyre bead into position with each hand working away from the other, keeping pressure on the tyre in both directions, the bead pulls down into the rim. By the time both hands meet again on the opposite side of the rim the remaining small section of bead will pop into place. It's hard to put into words, but it is a technique, once mastered it's like "riding a bike!" You'll never forget.

I pulled out a 19-year-old Schwinn traveler bike. Trying to replace the tires was a task, until I saw your video. The first tire was still difficult but by the time I got to the second tire, it was easy. Thanks.

That's great glad it helped! 🚲

[@csrocker101]

Great tutorial. Already popped one of my tubes and had another and was scared I’d have to take it to the bike shop! Your technique worked like a charm.

[@mollypaintscows]

5yrs later this still a great how-to video. Thanks!

[@THOMMGB]

Well done. My problem is that I had too much air in the inner tube. Once I let a bit more out, it all came together nice and easy.

[@caseycrabtree2713]

Also very important to make sure your ribbon is in good condition once you take that old inner tube off. It is a thin black band that sets under your tube; keeps the metal parts from popping holes in your tube.

[@ronramey3760]

My inner tube bigger than rim but have the right size for the tire and the rim came with the bike?

[@camillehicks794]

Did you figure this out. I’m having the same issues ?

[@TheEclecticHandyman]

Sometimes it appears to be too big until it's inflated and then it snugs up to the rim. 🛠️

[@ottomarvin5611]

Simple and straight to the point. Thank you for the great video.

[@TheEclecticHandyman]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️

[@markcodysr]

Thanks Bro... it took a little longer than 5 minutes, but I got it done. Here's a tip... when you pump air into the inner tube prior to putting it on the rim, go ahead and check it for leaks. You don't want to find out after you've mounted the tire that you've got a brand new inner tube with a hole in it.

Great tip and glad it helped, thanks for watching! 🛠️

[@Ms-Eve]

Any tips for me? Im having trouble keeping the inner tube in the rim while fitting the tire around the innertube. If i keep it reletivly un-inflated it just falls out but if i inflate it a little more it refuses to let the tire go around it

[@markyoungsmagic]

Excellent idea putting the inflation information in line with the valve stem!

[@Slingersbullseye]

I upgraded my tires with same size but seem to be swimming in the rim they don't pinch I had them sit out for a few about 10 months but seems like they're bigger? Any thoughts?

[@lmc4964]

cool, i tended to do both sides at the same time and putting the tube in the tire first, will give this a go. I got a puncture on the road but there is a slight kink when the wheel spins faster so need to start again.

[@lindamorgan2678]

Cool I did not think of doing the tire one side at a time Thanks

[@cstrike105]

Is it also OK to place the inner tube inside the tire first, then insert the valve into the valve hole in the rim so that the inner tube is already inside the tire and it won't be difficult to mount it in the rim?

[@15lastone]

Thanks for the amazing support, I have been struggling to fit my inner tube😊😊, may be I'll succeed one day👍👍😊

[@adorkychristiandad]

How did you put on a new stem? You didn't show that part. The stem for the tire tube I bought seems different than the one you have in the video. The stem I got is like this thin metal thing and you had to buy this other yellow colored adapter to make it look like the original stem. Did not inflate for some reason I wonder if that's a special type of tube, even though I bought it next to all the other brands I could have possibly bought and it was around the same price. I hate being learning disabled stuff like this looks way too easy then in real life

Pretty common sense.. was hoping to see how to take the tire off the bike too. Good vid tho broseph

Only question I have is what about sealant? When I take my bike to the shop they sometimes say it needs new sealant.

Take a flashlight out and have a look at the old tire. It should state the size on it and you can match to replace.

I’m about to lose my damn mind. The inner tube I ordered seems to be too long - but I double checked the order and packaging, the length matches the factory tires, just like the length/size. That would mean the wrong size tubes were installed for the last decade… but I’ve driven this bike so many times and kilometers, tubes being too long would’ve made the tyre wobbly wouldn’t it??
