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.

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).

My bike has a side metal stem on the front wheel. Is this method possible with that kind of valve stem?
