Eddie shares how he changes a tubeless mountain bike tire. The Vee Bulldozer tire was leaking sealant from the sidewalls and not keeping air. Also, it developed a few bulges. Eddie replaces it with a Maxxis Minion DHF.

I found that the fastest and safest way of popping off the bead is to lay the tire on the ground and slowly and gently stepping on the tire near near the rim. Also, the tire tool that looks like scissors works great in putting on a tight tire. On both occasions I've deformed tires using tire levers :)

I have had that same experience with a set of WTB Rangers. I had to slowly, carefully, cut mm by mm into the kevlar band with a razor to release the tire. It was frustrating! -Eddie

@bryanjohnson665 2 жыл бұрын

Solid. While its not a big deal, I'm just a wee bit more careful when laying down the wheel on the disc side to avoid any potential warping or bending. Probably won't be an issue, but I'm just over cautious. Like the channel.

@SimplyMountainBiking 2 жыл бұрын

Yes - I use a bean-bag to keep from warping the disk. I'm more worried about contamination from the cassette (that's why the paper towel). I saw that the cassette left no residue on the paper towel, so I dispensed with it after that. -Eddie

Yeah I was definitely triggered at 1:30 when smacking it down on the rotor. Should also highlight lining up the logo with the valve stem

@TheCurryMunchers1 2 жыл бұрын

Hi great video :) I was just wondering why you greased the valve core I've never heard of people doing that before, is it to stop sealant from sticking to it and clogging it?

@SimplyMountainBiking 2 жыл бұрын

That is correct! I only figured this out a few tire changes ago - but haven't had trouble with sealant clogging the valve stem/seals since! -Eddie

Thanks for the informative video, I am completely new to tubeless tyres so can I ask how much sealant you use…? cheers

@SimplyMountainBiking Ай бұрын

Hi, you are welcome! It varies per tire volume/size. I can't recall how much was used for this particular tire. Your sealant should tell you how much on the bottle. -Eddie

@devlish668 Жыл бұрын

Nice video. Two questions: 1) why do you bounce the wheel/tire after mounting and 2) why do you have those 5 minute periods of letting the wheel/tire sitting? Thanks!!

@SimplyMountainBiking Жыл бұрын

The shock forces from bouncing a tire at max psi helps ensure the bead gets fully seated. Laying the tire on its side after spinning it helps ensure sealant has time to seep fully into the bead, coat it, and harden where it contacts oxygen from any small leaks. Hope this helps! -Eddie

what's the cleaner you used to clear off old sealant? Love the videos, but when you use a cleaner or grease could you hold it to camera for a bit so we can check what you are using?

Do you recommend doing it it’s 90% of tyre mounted or a dry fit with tire completely fitted and fluid in stem with valve removed?

Does greasing the valve core prevent sealant from gunking up the valve core ?

@SimplyMountainBiking 2 жыл бұрын

Yes - that's right! I haven't had valve-core gum-up problems since I started greasing the valve-core seals. It keeps the sealant from hardening on the core seals. -Eddie

I noticed you don't use an injector to inject through the valve (core removed of course). Is there a reason why?

@SimplyMountainBiking 2 жыл бұрын

I don't particularly like to push sealant through where I'm going to thread the valve core. Instead, I prefer to grease the valve core to keep sealant from sticking to it, and have it inserted when I fill the tire with sealant. I don't have problems with sealant gumming up my valve stem and core any more. -Eddie
