The tire lever has 2 ends: a flat end and a hooked end. Use the flat end of one to pop a portion of the tire bead over the rim like you do in the video. Then hook the hooked end of the other one on the now exposed bead. Grab the body of that tire lever in your fist and pull along the circumference of the tire. The entire thing should pop off with no issues.

This is the best tire change video for kingsong 16x

Love the video! If you're looking for a tip: As an avid cyclist who's changed many tires/fixed many flats on tight carbon rims, I can say that a quality pair of tire levers makes all the difference. It looks like you're using a common cheap pair without a good size for your hand or enough strength to work a tight/thick bead. For wheels like this motorcycle tire irons probably make sense; they would pop the bead off no problem. They're like tire levers but metal and way stronger, come with protection for the rim where you use it but made for this purpose.

I just did two of these tires in one night using this video as a guide. THANK YOU!! Regarding the tire I found them to be super easy ... I'm thinking thanks to having been a cyclist since the mid 80s and having changed a number of onewheel tires, each of which is way harder than this! It also might be because I weigh a lot and am able to use my ice cream based mass to force the tire on. I only needed one short plastic tire iron. The technique I've always used is pry the tire off the bead at a single point, leave the iron beneath the bead, and then squiggle it around the rim, working your way around, maybe prying sometimes if you need to. No problem. Then to put the tire back on you just use your hands and body weight - working the bead over most of the rim is not too bad right, it's that last little bit that is nasty - to do that you hold the tire and sort of roll it away from you while pushing down on it with your big fat body (oh is that just me?) and it should eventually pop on. I can make a video if that makes no sense. But seriously I was dreading the tire portion of these changes so much, but the most time consuming thing for me ended up being unscrewing the screws underneath the padding. I hate that.

It helps to take out the valve stem. Also, some spring clamps on the opposite side of the tires helps the beads get into the rim deeper, making it easier to pry the tire over the rim.

Awesome video! Nice packing list for me as well. I like to keep the necessary tools with me in case I need to do a tire change on the road. Keep the videos coming!

Great video! Thank you, Mickey!

Another great video! I’m sticking with the stock tire I lowered the PSI to 30 and I think it’s working great. Keep up the great content bro.

Great work and production. You deserve more subscribers.

Most cinematic video about a tire change :) awesome content Mickey!

Also, I love your videos, and I’ve always been a subscriber to your channel.

Great video, thanks for posting, I have a feeling that I will need this in the future :}

Oh man your videos are amazing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿. Inspired

Awesome 😎 thanks brother 🙏

Had to revisit this video. Have a slow leak on a slimed tube and ordered a tube and CST tire, since I'll have open it up anyway.

Great video once again my friend.. You really are inspired by Peter McKinnon on this one with the b rolls :)

Good sh*t! Subbed! Excellent vids man...very well done. Just upgraded from 16S to 16X...helluva change. Can't believe how quickly my feet get sore on the 16X. Can ride for hours on the 16S with no issues. Guess I just need the milage.

great, we need more people available to do and show how to this stuff, it is not as scary as it seems ;)

5:22 Use a little spray WD40 or some dishwashing detergent around the rubber lip, then again when mounting.

If you put the wheel upright, then removing the tire is much easier. It just pulls down at an angle of 45 degrees.

Oh these scenes feel familiar......

When changing motorcycle tires, you have to squeeze thre opposite side of the tire beads together so that they fall into the recess of the rim. This gives you more room to lever the tire. It did not look like you did that and it might be why you were struggling. I have not changed a tire on my 16X yet, so I do not how deep the recess is and could not tell on the video.

Great video. Now I know I'm going to get someone else to do it....

Hey evil, I’m working on my unicycle 16 X and I was watching your video because this is the first time I’m ever opening wheel. My handle is not working and the top part (handle)came off and I had to turn the sensor off in order for the wheel to work. I understand that you live in New York City, and I was wondering if we could somewhere meet up perhaps on 42nd St. where my wife lives to work on the unit itself, I bought the tools and everything so you don’t have to worry about bringing any I just need to learn how to fix the handle in order for me to ride and I can make my money again since I do deliveries. Thanks

Great video! You are such a talented film maker! I’ve just started riding EUC and making KZfaq videos. How much time do you put into this channel? 🤘🏻

Try long metal tire irons. It sounds like the extra leverage helps.

Forks and dessert spoons work for me

I been using the handle of spoon or fork , 3 spoon fork or mix. They work well for bicycle wheels. Not sure about bigger wider wheels like this ,

How about soapy water ?

What Type Tire do you recommend for the KING SONG 16X for a Better Comfortable Enjoyable Ride.

What size Allen key for the pedal removal?

Now you need to do it all again to try the Chao Yang H-5167 tire!

나는 이 영상을 재미있게보고있다. 더 흥미로운 영상을 기대한다. 👍👊

Hello and thank you for your great video ! I don't see any dust or other debris inside your wheel, we often hear that the KS16X is poorly protected for water and dust...

Hi, inmotion v10 : 2485 miles, the original tire is to thin when old, so i'll put an Deli tire 2,5/-16 31J SB108 Tubeless supporting 220 pounds vs 165 pounds. 2485 miles = when i put a foot on the unicycle it moves on side, yes i am a bit heavy: 202 pounds :/

Did you noticed that these tire tend to touch the case during riding, when the body weight is transferred to one side? Is there a way to fix it?

you meed the real tire irons, not the 4" ones, but the 15" ones. was easy for me because of the extra leverage.

So, you never said... Which tire do you prefer? The cx tire or the chaoyang H5167?. I currently have the cx tire on. Thinking about switching out for the 5167.

Will slime for the tires prevent tire flats?

Puts tire on backwards... contemplates riding with headlight facing backwards for a few months... changes tire again.

tires... damn it, Loool

New NIKOLA or New KING SONG 16X What ? would you Say would RANK Top DOG of the two.

Shalom haver!

Ok... Please Clarify... No to CX 231 (Stock)... No to CST (I thought you liked)... Which one did you just installed?

You put the tyres arms next to each other then slide only one all the way round the rim, takes 5 seconds....

Bruh ive popped 4 tires trying to put the tire on over the innertube im so irritated

If you need to change tire again, get a solid tire instead of changing the inner tube.

so in your opinion the ks16x is the best euc?

LUBE....you know.....soap and water

Tooop

If you knew you were going to throw the existing tire away........why didn't you cut the tire instead of messing with the tire levers?

Gingerly, first.

shit my e scooter has 2 rims, rip

dish soap next time. "Dawn" works like a champ.....

It took 20 seconds with my method. Just use two or three big screwdrivers. A lot longer and less force.

Emphasis on the white squishy thing

Intro to long, music too loud, some of us are wearing ear buds.

Your so handsome

Just send it back to the E wheel let them do it for u.itll cost u 160.00 thats it
