50 years in garage workshop and have never seen the tube put in the tyre before putting the tyre on the rim, Brilliant

Honestly not sure if this is a sarcastic comment or not. But never, have I have swapped a tire. But I just did on my 650. And put the tube in first. I mean, how else are you supposed to?

Okay, it was nice of you both to tour your watchers through this procedure. Those of us who watch your videos enjoy, somewhat, diversions like this. However, no one pointed out that most tires have a small circle of paint where the lightest point of the tire is, and it is necessary to position this in line with the valve stem. This is to help balance the tire. Next, I kept cringing when Jen was using the tire irons, because no one told her that you must hang on to both irons, so that one doesn't fly up and take your eye out. Even though 'tight enough' can get you home, a torque wrench should have been demonstrated, because something coming apart at highway speeds could be fatal. The rear pads are squealing because they are glazed, and a diagonal x cut to break up the harmonics would cure this. Tire size...the first number is the width of the tire in millimeters, the second is the percentage of that width in height. A wider tire with a low height percentage could end up being lower than original. A big enough change affects both your speed, and your effective gear ratio for torque. I watch all your videos and this is the only time I felt anything but thankful.

Terrific video! This is useful information. thank you! Tube tires seem archaic- we should have the technology to make every tire/rim tubeless. Tubeless tires are easy to fix on the fly

Great video! Be advised that I and other Himalayan owners have had the mushroom shaped "nib" (that retains the side stand spring) as well as a short section of cylindrical steel break off, causing the spring to come off, and the side stand to then come in contact with the road surface if you are in motion. Heavier riders standing on the left peg during discounts (with full panniers) may be a possible factor, or it might be attributable to practicing the "side stand balance maneuvers" as depicted in this video. Fortunately, the complete side stand assembly (and package of two springs) only cost around $25.00 from a stateside R.E. dealership.

Really awesome and helpful video tutorial. I would like to know which brand of tyres have you used? I am from India, South-East Asia.

@precipiceofgrind Жыл бұрын

On the Himalayan this was my first tire change so on that bike only the CEAT's and the new Shinko's. I think the Shinko's are serving me well for the riding I do. I also have experience with Tusk D Sport tires which are also a very quality tire. Thanks for watching!

@OrangeManStan Жыл бұрын

Poor explanation of the tyre numbers. The 130 is the width in mm. The second number is a % of the width IE 80% of 130mm. This is why if you are going wider you want a smaller second number to keep the rolling diameter the same or similar.

@motometaphor Жыл бұрын

What are the sizes of the tires you installed. I think they are a little wider than stock but I didn't catch the exact number

@precipiceofgrind Жыл бұрын

The front was the same, Jen moved to a 130/80-17 for the rear...a little wider.

I don't get why some bikes have tubes. Is it just easier/cheaper to manufacture?

@Dave-in-France Жыл бұрын

With std. spoked wheels they always need an inner tube, to hold the air in. It is possible to modify/seal a spoked wheel so you can install tubeless tyres.

@@Dave-in-France my super tenere, stock, has tubeless tires on spoked wheels. that is not true that they need a tube.

thought you were gonna do the tubeless conversion... anyway thumbs up fot the video.

@danagerds Жыл бұрын

Converting those rims to tubeless is not a good idea, a lot of work and then the bead might not be strong enough to support the mod. Better to just buy tubeless rims and fit them if you can find them.

@johncummins3860 Жыл бұрын

Always start at the valve when removing tyre & finish at valve when installing as the tyre beads can fit further into centre of rim !

I would not want these guys working on my bike - they made a real pigs breakfast of swapping out the front tyre; can't be bothered to use a torque wrench.

@boxatricks Жыл бұрын

A torque wrench is a luxury out on the trail when you have to change a tube. If you're experienced working with tools, either DIY or in a workshop environment the 10 to 14ft/lbs is easily gagued with experience.

@arthamilton2379 Жыл бұрын

@@boxatricks I think you're missing the point. Demonstrating the torque wrench displays the visual aspect of about how much twist the fastener needs. No one is likely to carry a torque wrench out into the wilderness. But mechanics are very skilled at deducing about the right feel for a fastener, and amateur users have not likely had this exposure. So the demonstration serves to educate everyone as to the appropriate amount of twist that the spec involves. I have trained 15 apprentices through their trade while doing my job for 44 years. I respect your challenge at being filmed while you proceed with a normal operation. I am federally certified for HD Mech Journeyman and Automotive Electrician Journeyman, seven and a half years apprenticing. Your assistant appeared to be quite alert and knowledgeable.

@@arthamilton2379 Forgive me, but I think you are missing the point. This wasn't a tyre change out in the 'bush' - this was work carried out in a professional bike workshop. So I would expect in a workshop to take care of my bike to a professional standard.
