I saw a guy mention the zip tie method, I tried it, and it honestly made it harder for me. What works the absolute best is a finger and some dish soap, take a small amount and go around the rim with your finger after you break the bead, and the tire will come right off, you can apply the same thing when putting it on too, it slips right off and on with no pressure.

@@giovannispagnoli8040 thanks for the tip, I’ll keep that in mind next time I need to change the tube or tire!

Thanks for sharing. The line you see painted on the tire, is what indicates the side towards the air valve. 😉

Thanks for another great, more realistic video, this is life sometimes there's a bump in the road, what is important is you kept at it, you persevered and this my friend is a more valuable lesson than changing the tire👍🏾👏🏾🎊🎉

OMG! I was invited to a train wreck and saw a tire-change. LOL. I feel you brother; we've all been there. In the end, great job. 😊

I currently did the same thing, got pinch flat after pinch flat, trying to see videos on how to do it without ruining the tube. It's super difficult and I'm a blue collar worker too

I crashed the same way, braking wobbles. Tire change was painful. By the end you're an expert. No aftermarket fairings for the V14?

@Kev-In-Motion Ай бұрын

@@CapitalWheeler sorry to hear you also crashed! If you have recommendations on where to get wider aftermarket fairings please let me know! I haven’t found any yet.

Have you heard of the zip tie, tyre change method? Its much quicker and easier, no pinched tube! Use lots of zip ties... I used 8-12 good video, thanks

That crash most definitely did not have to happen. Don't ever bail on your wheel. Be 100% committed to staying on it. My observation is that you are not braking nearly hard enough. Keep your back perfectly straight and your chest out but get your ass way behind the backside of the wheel, and practice super aggressive braking. It is super exhilarating once you get the hang of it. As soon as you feel that wobble do a super hard brake then come back up, turn a little bit, and accelerate and the wobble will go away instantly. Also I find that if my wheel ever wobbles even a little bit I straighten myself up like a perfect statue and that kills it too. I had one happen to me at 40 miles an hour on my Lynx, I stayed committed to the wheel and did a minor turn and accelerated which is counterintuitive but there are a number ways to kill the wobble with more experience. Plus your brain becomes hyper tuned to react the moment it starts to happen so that you do not give it an opportunity to progress.

@ timestamp 1.30 there is damage to your elbow protective gear, due do having no skid plate on the outside. The fox launch pro and also the fox titan pro D30 , stay in place well in a crash. Also for your emergency braking, you really need to commit to the squat, like Adam aka wrong way! If you want to learn more about euc check out my 'euc stuff' playlist.

@@mynameisMelt thanks for the tips! I’ll check out your playlist. And yes 100% wobble and fall caused by not fully committing to the squat!

what was the street tire on your wheel that you replaced? Do you prefer the knobby over it? I started with the knobby and looking for more agility, thinking of switching it out to a hybrid or street tire on my v14...

@Kev-In-Motion Ай бұрын

@@sunburn731 The street tire is the Chao Yang H262. It rode pretty well as street tires go. I do actually prefer the Yuanxing Knobby tire though as the roads around where I live are pretty rough in some spots and I am getting more into off road riding (Stay tuned for the next video)

@patrickmckowen2999 Ай бұрын

Why not get most of your learning out of the way and then replace parts? Cheers

@Kev-In-Motion Ай бұрын

@@patrickmckowen2999 that’s a valid point! To be fair, I did ride the wheel for a few weeks after the crash before I replaced the parts. The old handles were also rough to grab after being all scratched up. I’m considering adding extra padding around the wheel to better protect it against scratches and wrapping the handles with bike grip tape. Thanks for watching!

Why tire change what wrong the tire

@Kev-In-Motion Ай бұрын

@@rickybrown5817 I wanted to start riding off road on dirt and gravel trails. The original street tire isn’t meant for that type of riding.

I hope you’re not riding in public if you can’t control the wheel when you’re braking…

@Kev-In-Motion Ай бұрын

@@DrawsACircleAt the time of this video, braking at slower speeds was not a problem. I was trying to push the wheels speed here and was struggling with fast braking. Obviously I am not going to ride fast in public areas if I can’t control braking at that speed. Skills have much improved since this video and the V14 is now my main commuter. Thanks for watching!
