Overinflate the tire so the bead seats properly. You hear it pop when it seats right. Then deflate. Usually about 60-75psi to seat, then down to 30ish

[@FinnBjerke]

Are you assuming the Tire fits? Why? My assumption is: The tire looks cool they choice it without adjusting the construction of the wheel according to the tires specs. Childish ? Yes... Dangerous ? Yes... Gotway like ? Yes also that

Is it a big hassle to change them by yourself? I bought a Tesla last year and I’ve had to change the tire a few times, but I pay professionals to do it 😅😅

Sindre Valheim it’s like a 20 min process, u don’t have to disconnect any wires or nothing but it still sucks lol

I don’t see why you would have to disconnect all those wires... you should just be able to disconnect the xt connectors and be done

You got to do all that to change a simple flat though? Damn!

[@Bridgeboy69]

I just had a flat on my KS18XL and I used "Ultra Instant Bike Tire Inflator Sealer" from Walmart and it worked great. It's basically a bicycle tire sized Fix-a-Flat. No disassembly needed...

[@Bridgeboy69]

@Andrei Petunin So far just a few days. I just did it. But I have no reason to expect it won't last as long as the tire will last or until a new puncture develops. I squirted it inside and then rode the EUC for about 3 or 4 miles to really spin it up in there while it was drying and to make sure it balanced out evenly.

[@freshlycharged]

That looked like fun!

[@marsrover001]

When you pinch the tube slightly during install and just hope it goes away. It never does.

[@darkstar4494]

marsrover001 you can depressurize the tube until it’s barely rideable, then go around the block, sometimes that straightens out twists or folds. It worked for me on the recommendation of Jason from ewheels.

[@josebravo5125]

Fix a flat might work in most situations, but replacing a totalled tire would probably have to be done by an expert

[@ronnedal]

Looking forward to see how it rolls once you get the road tire on properly. I would definitely go for a road tire if I had a Veteran.

[@tangtang7051]

Kuji what a great video in showing the complexity of changing the wheel which really you don't have to, but customization, and comfort out rule the most. I really enjoy this video, but it won't deter me from wanting this awesome wheel. I hate to say it, but I'm a fanboy true and true. If need be I will learn everything about it to the point where I become an engineer specialist for this wheel like I did for the Monster when I was trying to get that wheel, but switched over to the Sherman. Anyways with these great videos that you make about all others . I'm sure the company will see that, and try to improve it in some ways. Keep up the great videos.

[@KujiRolls]

Thanks tang tang

[@urthpainter]

is there a more detailed Sherman Veteran tire change vid on YT? this shows the basics, but leaves out details (like actually seeing the tire being freed from the case for instance). I have a tire change ahead of me (mine came with a flawed tire), and I'd like a more technical video to follow

[@ghostl337]

You did it! Hell yeah, make sure the tube isn't getting pinched between the rim and the tire and also make sure the valve is properly aligned with the rim valve port those might be the reason you popped

[@wizrom3046]

That sucks! I feel for you. 🙁 With tube tires its good to semi-inflate the tube to maybe 10 psi after installing, then use your hands to fully work the tube and tyre because itsmsoft enough to squeeze. That makes sure the tube is not pinched. And some talcum powder or chalk rubbed on the tube will help it find the natural position and get less abrasion.😁

[@wulfhart2]

just when I was thinking you would do it, you really did it!

[@leedart]

Hey when I’ve put my tube back into the frame of the tire I cover it with dishwashing soap and water so it can slide in the frame if it’s not seated properly, as well it seems to help keep the tube from getting pinched and staying pinched. I didn’t see you put any kind of lubricant on the tube for the tire. It also will show if there are any pinholes in the tube which sometimes happens before you get it or while handling it. Good luck and thanks for the post.

[@TimoNoko]

The inner tube must have some air in it when installing the outer tire. The tube ended up twisted or pinched between the tire and the rim -- and was chafed until exploded .

[@jessepatterson8897]

yep, i've learned this the hard way too.

[@huxley309]

Should have used a bit of talc on the tube to make it seat better

its scary to think you can go that fast in a wheel. seems almost irresponsible from the manufactures. you practically should have a licence to ride this. just wait for the lobbyists, and definitely should not be allowed in sidewalks. imagine crashing into a pedestrian, body to body at 60mph

[@timetravelfilms727]

I wipe around the new tyre, inside with a wet wipe just in case there are sharp bits or stones in there. Then like what others have said be ultra careful about making sure the inner tube is not pinched anywhere. What a bummer!

I use baby powder (talc) in my mountain bikes and dirt bikes before putting the tubes in. It acts as a dry lube and I never get pinch flats, even aired down to really low pressures. Just put some inside the tire before installing and roll it around to spread it out.

Swapping tires and inner tubes is one of the big issues I have with unicycles. Both of Msuper X 84V (2 pairs) almost caught on fire due to wrongfully reconnecting the battery. And this was after I installed a brand new tire and inner tube on the wheel. Inmotion, Kingsong, Gotway, and Sherman have to make these changes: easily replacing a tire without taking the unicycle apart and make battery swapping easier and safe.

[@isaacinfanti5915]

Now i think that tire change/flat repair/disassemble is a must subject to every unicicle review, since the DIY should be a simple thing (SHOULD)

[@alfredodiy]

what is the easiest electric unicycle to change a tire

[@KujiRolls]

None

[@originsdecoded3508]

the tire it came with is specifically design for the gyroscope counter weight system, plus the thicker tires absorb more of the bumps in the road and provide better peripheral stability when leaning left and right. but then again, you can go window shopping for similar size, thickness, and weight tires with better grip sutures or what ever you call the rubber protrusions in the wheel that help with traction on the ground. I'm curious what would happen if you catapult forward crashing onto the ground at 60mph with this wheel. I'm sure you full body armor will shatter and definitely break many bones. if it ever does happen, turn into a feetle position, and try to roll int the ground to absorb the impact.

[@big_petebear8535]

I crashed on one going 42mph. You don't slam into the ground, you go sliding, just like a motorcycle.
