Well done on putting these tips together.

I have changed the tyres on my bike once before. It took me 2 hours for each tyre & I had to put a day between as I did it after work & it was time for bed after just 1 tyre.:unsure:

I am very lucky & grateful that I have my own mechanic on hand just for these types of things

Great stuff guys, it’s years since I changed a bike tyre and you’ve brought back many not-so-fond memories Love the stand, but isn’t it a little heavy to carry with you in the bush? :dry:

If I may add some hints:

1. Keep a length of split heater hose to cover up the sprocket teeth to protect a wayward fist or knee.

2. If you have trouble getting the last of the bead over the rim on refit, try clamping the sidewalls of tyre together opposite the section you are working on(not too tight). I use those ‘Quick-Grip’ woodworking bar clamps, but a g-cramp and a couple of strips of timber will do. This should help the far side of the tyre feed up into the centre of the rim (i.e. tyre is now off centre to the rim) and give you valuable extra slack toward the last section of bead.

3. The clamps are also handy to unseat a bead.

Hey isnt all that crap a bit heavy to carry into the bush :laugh: as you said

You shouldnt really need all that stuff but, as Dan’s learnt he should have had Eagle ride that tyre flat for the last block home that would have fixed the bead :laugh:
