Video-Changing a rear tyre on an Africa Twin

[RodYork]

I created this video of me changing some road tyres to a more rugged style- I deliberately used stuff you would carry when travelling ie soap & talc powder- I hope it's of use to someone!

Brilliant thanks. A well made video never thought about the garden hose thing.

Nice vid. First change I did I used no talc or soap or anything. Twas horrible getting the last section of the bead back on :/

Something I've heard which can't hurt is to put inflate the tube then deflate then re-inflate, stops the tube bunching or stretching.

Nice, clear vid and good use of the garden hose

Your version = 4 minutes 7 seconds

My version = 4 hours 7 minutes


Nice one, and a good idea about the emergency tyre levers.

The benefit of "editing"- I just wish I too could use editing in real life.

I have a video I did of "polishing a wheel in 3 minutes"- reality is slightly different- to the tune of 7 hrs per wheel!
