Time to replace the rear Heidenau K60 trail tyre after 5000 miles,
And I wanted to try out a great solution to getting the rear wheel out yourself that KZfaqr Warro shared, here is a link to his film;
• Royal Enfield Classic ...
And KZfaqr Tiger Ness made a informative film on an easier way to fit the seat springs, here is his film;
• Royal Enfield Classic ...
And one of my own films on how I further adapted my solo seat for quick release with rear pillion rack fitted, based on TM`s idea;
• Royal Enfield Classic ...

Did this task myself recently (without the benefit of the “Warro Tip) and if I had filmed a reassembly video it would have needed an Intermission Break. Lord what a trick that was. Without my mate’s second pair of hands I’d likely still be at it. Anybody thinkin’ it should be easy hasn’t done it yet!

It is indeed a ball ache to do! I think his is why there are so few films on KZfaq of folk doing the job themselves!

Brilliant idea Warro. Bruce, you could use a light cargo strap, between the rack and the middle of the handlebars. Very secure. Great video.

Hi Tim, it is no longer a back of the brain concern how to change a rear tube un assisted in the back of beyond 😁👍 a lot easier than a balancing act with the bike at an angle 😁

Sometimes you just have to look at things from a different angle, in this case upsidedown ozzy style... To think that 100 years ago some makers had solved this issue by hinging the rear part of the mudguar Progress has meant that we no longer do this for some stupid reason.

Afternoon Bruce That makes it a lot easier once the mudgaurds up doesn't it ! Great combined input from you all ! 👍 I've still got a few miles to go yet before I need tyres, but this has made the task easier to look forward to, Cheers Mel 🍻

Thanks Mel, Warros idea is definitely the easiest way to get the wheel off and back on 😁👍

Remove the front wheel, let the bike drop forward onto its shocks. Use wooden blocks to prevent damage. The rear wheel will now clear the mudguard on the way out. To refit, put rear wheel in place and lift the front with more blocks until the height is perfect to push the spindle in. Refit front wheel. Cheers P

Hi Peter, have you published a film of this, be good to see 😁

Sorry, no film but l used this method twice recently. My wife & l both ride classic 350s & changed to scout tyres after watching your chanel. That's why l had both wheels out, front is so easy to take in & out. Bike naturally tips forwards, center stand of course 😂. Works a treat. Thanks for your great channel. 👍 P

Good tip there via Warro. When I replaced inner tube due to puncture on my Signals 350, I found refitting rear wheel the toughest part, especially getting the caliper onto the disc via the sliding arrangement / bracket. Great content and greetings from the west coast !

@Coastriderscotland Ай бұрын

Yep the only bad point of the bike is that rear wheel fitment!

@frankboff8185 Ай бұрын

That’s was a clever idea from Waro. Thanks for sharing.

@jonathandeeley6276 Ай бұрын

Seems a lot of faff to remove the wheel? 🤔 Why not just put a couple of 42mm blocks under the centre stand which will raise the bike enough (with a slight tilt) to get the wheel out, refitting is a reversal, then use a cheap £8 'pump up' air cushion to raise and support the wheel so the spindle and calliper carrier can be lined up along with the spacers, job done.👍

Another great video, Bruce. Do you ever feel the need to balance your wheels after changing a tyre? I have a set of these tyres I'm about to put on my Classic 350 Signals.

Great work again Bruce. I just order 2 Michelin for Bumble, few days back. Certainly was very warm yesterday. Even up at the Lecht at 5pm, was warmer there than back at Newtonhill with sea breeze. Man, I stopped at 2 places, for some pies😊😊. This be a decent run Bruce.😊

I had a classic tor a while,and although I really liked the bike, trying to do the back wheel out and in was a pain in the bloody arse. Why can't they make the rear mudguard hinged like they were years ago,like before these hipsters,who no nothing about motor cycling, were allowed to get there idiot mits on the design table is beyond me. Anyway,rant over. Have a great summer.
