Quote:Top Tech Tips!47. KEEP THE BEAD DOWN WHEN CHANGING TIRES.
Changing tires easily is all about being smarter than the tire. The diameter of the bead of the tire is smaller than the outside diameter of the rim–duh! So to get the tire on or off the rim, the bead must be pushed down inside of the drop center of the rim and kept there while the opposite side of the tire is leveraged over the rim edge.48. USE FOUR TIRE IRONS.
Once you have deflated the tube and “broken down the bead” (pushed it into the drop center of the rim), insert four tire irons between the bead and the rim, spaced about 5 inches apart. Start in the middle, and progressively work out to the sides using the four irons, checking that the bead opposite the irons is down. Using multiple irons eliminates fighting to get them in under the bead and virtually erases the possibility of the bead falling back under the rim after you pull it out.49. USE WD-40 WHILE CHANGING TIRES.
I use WD-40 to help remove old tires and to ease the installation of new meat. It is mostly a carrier and evaporates quickly. Spray the bead area, but be very careful not to get any spray on a brake rotor.50. INSTALL THE TUBE FIRST.
I have found that installing a partially inflated tube in a new tire is the easiest way to mount tires. Lightly coat the inside of the tire with baby powder first, so the tube will find its place nicely inside the tire.51. VALVE-STEM NUT AS LOCATOR.
Use the small nut on the valve stem to stop the stem from receding into the tire while you’re trying to push the bead inside the rim. I always install the stem in the hole of the rim first, then thread the nut on about 1/4 inch to hold the stem up. Never thread the nut all the way down; this will either result in a pinched tube while tire-changing or the stem being torn out while riding. Once inflated, thread the nut up against the cap, not the rim.52. SUN A TIRE.
Set a new tire out in the sun before changing to soften it up and make changing it easier.I mean you would have to be pretty experienced to know all those and the other 50 tips, maybe you forgot :laugh:
Seriously though mate there is nothing more frustrating then cold tyres, next time let the tyres down to to about 4 -6 psi and go for a ride around the streets it heats the tyres up and makes removal so much easier

There comes a moment in your life when you are stuck on a greasy hill and your 12 year old son roars past you and makes it to the top on his 85!!The first up hill we came to saw me loose traction on the XR and all three of the young fellas and an ol bastard on a XR600 over took me and took pleasure in filling me in with roost in the process.
Puzzled me Mick why the bike with the most torque of the lot that should have been suited to the conditions got stuck on the hills, it was the cheap shit tyre you had on that came of today.
That wore out quick didn’t it? Cheap not good :laugh: . You can stick those MX retreads and all retreads where the sun doesn’t shineBike does look good with those rims
and don’t f*#king dent them TB
