    This seems so much easier on that bike, I did this on a small street bike and it was pretty hard.

    hey a couple things. there are many tricks to take tread off rims therefore levers are not required. Also if you begin by removing the tread from the opposite side as the valve there is less tension making it easier to remove.

    overall good vid rookie ;)

    Very informative video, thanks for this.

    A tip — before separating the tyre from the wheel, put mark on the tyre where the valve is using chalk or crayon.

    That way, once you have found the puncture in the tube, you can align it with the tyre to find the part of the tyre that had the sharp object in it — and may still have it in there. Better than feeling for thorns with your fingers!

    JB you go on rocking out with your tire out

  25. WoWyouownatthatgame

    do you mean slime? if so it takes about a good hour of riding to make it seal the tire or you can put the bike upsiedown and pedal the bike for about 30 minutes
