I hope you liked this short video on this trick as it's super helpful! Also, guys I know you can unlock the zip ties but I've found that the amount of tension I you put these under makes releasing them risky as the lock gets deformed. It's a time saver so use it to get the job done.

In over 50 yrs of riding I have only ever had one can of silicone spray ,which I was given. I keep it in a plastic bag way down my backyard and never let it get anywhere near my workshop.I am sure there is a reason it was invented but I havent discovered that yet. You want grip once that tyre is inflated onto rim not a permanent layer of super slippery oil/wax. I always use dishwashing liquid thinned with water , when it dries it disappears and allows rubber to grip the rim.And I have never used rim locks on road or trail bikes.Also, after using silicone you will never get an emergency patch to stick to it.Ever. So far so good.

Silicone is certainly not "permanent," and you're the only person alive who is so afraid of it that you keep it locked away in a vault far from your house behind layers of earth and lead like it's some kind of radioactive byproduct that will mutate your family... That being said, I also just use dish detergent or Windex because it's cheap, readily available, and gets the job done.

Didn't ride for many years then got a 2008 Yamaha FZ1 and it was the greatest motorcycle I ever rode. Put over 30k miles on it and it was pure joy all over again like the CB 750 was 40 years earlier.

Good video. Seen it for years on KZbin. If you use a small tool like a snall thin screwdriver to press or lift and release the latch inside the zip tie block you can save them to be used again. Been doing this for decades with all sizes of zip ties when possible to get to the little arm depending on where the tie is used for access. Silicone spray if used as rim slip lube will remain slippery and can cause a tire to spin on the wheel and tear the valve stem of the tube. OK if in a pinch situation on the side of the road but,... I prefer using the old standard baby powder. Silicone spray is used on automobiles on the door rubbers,.. and can stop water leaks and wind noises and make the door open and close easier. Can also be used in the window tracks where the glass slides to make them slide easier. Simply wipe it off any paint you may get it onto (the silicone will not damage the paint).

I love this method. Thank you for the great demonstration. My only suggestion would be to use soapy water instead of silicon spray. Soapy water rinses off very easily, lubricates perfectly well, and evaporates to a dry surface unlike silicone. Plus, you don't have to worry about getting that extremely slippery silicone overspray on the tire surface and disc brake surface. Overall, great video!

​@@BrickHouseBuilds I also use silicone spray and find it far more effective than the old soapy water method. However, rather than spraying it directly onto the tyre I spray it liberally onto a cloth and then wipe it on. This eliminates the chances of overspraying onto your tyre tread area and brake discs and makes for a far less, erm, '𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨' first ride out once you've put the bike back together. Great video sir, I loved it - and the look on your face when the tyre just fell onto the wheel was priceless! 😂

When you put the tire on all you have to do is slide long sockets down in between the bead and the rim and that'll push the tire down to the center enough for every time that you pull the tire with a spoon the socket makes the tire go down into the center 5 sockets and you can put the last part of the tire on with one finger and a spoon

You get more effective pressure with the zip tie is to have the "zip" point at the edge of the bead, so you can yank on the free end of the tie in a kind of "pulley" action, or use pliers to good effect.

You don't want to obstruct the bead. This works perfectly fine

You don’t have to sacrifice the zip ties. You get a small flat bladed screw driver and lift up the ratchet lock in the head of the zip tie. We’ve changed tyres like this for years. When airing up, take it halfway to pressure, stand the wheel up and give it a small bounce or two on the floor to seat everything and then blow it up the rest of the way. You can use the same method in reverse to remove the tyre too. Which is why we reuse the zip ties.

I just have mine put on at our local dealer. With the old tire removed they only charge $20 per tire. I've pinched to many darn tubes over the years trying to do them myself. Oh and there should be a dot or mark on most newer motorcycle tires that your supposed to like up with your valve stem hole. Has something to do with balancing.
