How to Change Interceptor Tyre | How to Repair Puncture | FormulaX Didn't Work
Рет қаралды 11,281
2 жыл бұрынIt might take only 1 person to change the bulb, but it surely takes many more to change the tube of a #punctured_Interceptor_tyre.
A situation that every rider dreads - getting a puncture on the highway. Thankfully it happened to us during our homerun near Kullu.
The #Timsun_Tyres didn't seem to have performed as well as expected. The stock Pirelli kind of outperformed it on the off-road of Spiti.
The situation re-established the importance of #tools_to_carry during long tours and to know #how_to_replace_a_tube of an #Interceptor_650.

This is how bikers should be. You should be able to do most of the essential repair and maintenance work on atleast your own bike model that way you don't get stranded out in wild. Nicely done on side of the road . 👏 Good video .

Repair and maintenance is important during entourage for which anticipation and proper planning is needed. Simple skill (jugad) and right application of mind makes this easier. No doubt team work is a desisive factor when you are in group.This is amply exhibited in the last leg of Som's wonderful travelogue "Spiti Calling", when tyre of one of the bikes got punctured and the riders mended it enjoying the process. One can learn that application of mind and skill is a learning process and is an enjoyable experience.Very enjoyable epesode...more such sharing is expected.

Mate going for a ride with your family and this happens in middle of no where, scary scene. It took efforts of so many people to fix it and this cannot be practised while sitting at home (which is another issue, hence u faced the issue of figuring out whether the pump is working or no) and even though you practise, when it actually happens in middle of no where, the dynamics is different. Since I do not have bunch of people who are ride enthusiasts, my selection was pretty easy towards duke 790cc. Also RE network looks good in highly travelled places, the moment you take that learning and try to experience it in tier 2/3 cities, you find significant deviation in the learnings, right from the way RE service centre works, mechanics have no clue about bike workability etc etc. Sometimes wonder, simple thing as tubeless in 650 twins is the most awaited requests from ages man, RE is not able to provide it, which is again a basic functional ask considering bikes have been used in weird terrains and long ridees. People like you or Rachittji or "Sunny has plans channel" are actually keeping the value up, else 650 twins is actually a scary perspective considering the effort it takes to fix a puncture and RE on demand network is pathetic.

Hello Ajay, I generously thank you for sharing your story. It's true and relatable. One thing I believe is that no matter what machine you ride, it is always best to know a few handy-work on the machine. After all, it is a machine, and anything could go wrong. In the end, I share your sentiments. Cheers!
@increasingsun Жыл бұрын
@@WanderingSom Agreed, not only machines, in any aspect of life, you need to know how to manage it. But considering the loyal followers of RE and anyhow they spend 30-50k more for everything that can be done in the tire, I am still baffled thinking "Why cannot RE provide tubeless alloys as accessories and get that revenue spent outside inside the system?". I mean for research, reaching out to people who have already done, taking their inputs, testing the same isn't that difficult, but time consuming ofcourse, but man c'mon its been at least 2 -3 years people are crying for tubeless and I believe one of the most consistent request from end users. I mean yes there are loyalists, but new end users are slowly moving away by shelling out a little more to Benelli or Duke or Yamaha or Bmw. Strange brand, but never mind its stock prices are at all time high, so chalta hai.

Accolades indeed, I have baker express and it's the thing to ponder over. Wondering if the things could be done differently. Should we carry an extra rim loaded with tyre. After all its worth taking seeing so much painstaking effort.
@WanderingSom 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Ambrish for sharing your valuable thoughts. It's indeed a possibility. The question is, how feasible will it be? Every extra kilo that you carry matters. Therefore, a plausible alternate could be to convert the Interceptor wheels to Tubeless. What say? Riding itself is painful, and it's that pleasurable pain. So every effort that comes along with it is also pleasurable. Thank you once again for sharing your feedback. Cheers!

At 5.30 - 6 am next Kullu, would have got any help at that time. Could have called the Manali RE service as well but it was too early. I had all that was required to address the problem; from the puncture patches to the tube. And I took it on. It was a good experience and able to educate the fellow riders for future. At the end, it was fun. And I could not let that go away; could I?

Why was it required to remove the disc break?
@WanderingSom 2 жыл бұрын
Hello Pranav, The answer is in the video itself. Nevertheless here its once again ... To be able to take the tube out, need to have the tyre off the grips which are there on the rim, from both sides. While repairing it roadside, the entire wheel needs to be placed on the road and pressured is to be applied, pushing the tyre downward each side to get it off the grip. If the disc remains in place and the wheel is kept on the road with the disc facing down, while applying pressure, the disc might get damaged/bent. And it could lead to a brake related problem. Hence, it is always advisable to take the disc out, even when the procedure is done in a workshop. Remember, NEVER keep the wheel on the ground with the disc facing down. Hope I am able to explain you matter. If you have any more questions, I will be happy to answer them. Cheers!

@WanderingSom Жыл бұрын
Hi Ajay, Currently, I am on my third set of tyres. I did the last change about 8Ks ago. Puncture is also a matter of luck. I had my first ever genuine puncture (due to a nail) recently when I was on my way back from Leh. While we can't do much about the luck part, however we can certainly take some measures to avoid getting flats.

Hello Noel, Thanks for sharing your experience. And the reference video as well. You know, one thing I release is that prior to a ride one should actually take the wheel(s) off and put it back so that you know how and what needs to be done. When I changed the tires to Ralco, I took the wheels out under the supervision of the mechanics down there. We all need to do something like that. Lastly, indeed these moments get a special place in the Hall of Memories. Hope you have subscribed to the channel. Thanks once again. Happy and safe riding. Cheers!
