I just wanted to give you major thank you! you saved my life I got my first flat after 2500 km I was freaking out I ended up having to buy about $300 worth of tools but I got every single thing you have to the and I am not ashamed to say it took me four hours and I ended up with a busted valve stem so I had to go buy a valve stem replacer and some extra stems but I freaking did it and I feel like a goddamn bad ass. My biggest struggle was putting the tube back in and trying to put the valve in the hole, took me over 30 mins. I also struggled putting the wheel back on by myself, could not figure out the rear brake but once i saw it clicked in with the wheel, after 1h30 and a lot of sweat, it was done. Now i will go for a ride and hope i dont pinch it or something. Im subbed now! Peace!
Use two or three clamps at the end if you might have some to squeeze opposite end of tire into "The Drop Center" of rim, will make it way easier to stretch tire over the rim .. : ) Good Luck to All!
The new tube I got came with 2 nuts and a cone washer on the metal valve stem. Why are there 2 bolts? Does the cone washer rest on the rim inside or do one of the nuts go on the inside?
I was curious how the back wheel stayed in line after taking it off. It looks like those wheel nut things with that bolt set to a certain position keeps it aligned in the same spot
Genuine Motion Pro Rim Shields are made with DuPont Zytel and will not crack or break in cold weather or with hard use. Fake ones you are using will not last and break easily. Also, suggest you use Bead Buddy to hold bead down while installing tire. Most expensive tool is a cheap tool!
Thanks for the suggestions, as you can see in the picture, you can clearly see a blue bead buddy. As for the rim protectors, I have changed about a dozen tires with no issues.
@@ytsoulcollectorvi1695 you can use a ratchet by hand. Its just an impact driver with the socket adapter. I would suggest not using it on anything but maybe the rear axle on these bikes, because anything aluminum strips very easily..
@@ytsoulcollectorvi1695 That's a 3/8s drive Milwaukee impact driver. Has 1 to 3 settings of torque . Not sure what setting he used on that nut probably the 1 to 2 range. 3 will bust off nuts on cars lol.
Buy once cry once....if you have the tool you can do yours whenever you need to change or if u get a flat, or even charge buddies a couple of bucks to do theirs to help offset tool cost
@@classahalimaw4606 Such a dumb suggestion... What if you live ages away and don't have a car mount? What if it pops on a ride 20miles from anywhere? What if it's shut or they're on holiday and you need it urgent? You're the guy I hear mechanics laugh or curse about... ;-)
You can make cheap tire irons if you want by just buying some long wide-blade regular screwdrivers from Harbor Frieght for a few dollars and just shave the sharp edges off the corners.. I have some from a long time ago we kept as backups with us.. Tire irons definitely make it a lot easier to do in general, but really the biggest thing is they dont pinch the tubes and they have the right angle to them for the job..
@@cfab9677 True but tubeless is 1000% times better. It Can handle anything and then self repair. Over time I had to patch way too many flat tubes on the side of the highway. Arizona terrain is hard on tubes. Some cheap tubes split with high speeds. With tubeless all I have to do is add tire fluid when it dries up.

thanks to the video, I worked on it by myself!
Excellent, great video!

Those should secure the tube to the rim. So 1 on each side of the rim
@@cfab9677 great thanks
Please subscribe I will be doing alot more ebike videos
In the process of changing tire and tube myself, is there torque specs in the manual for the through bolt that goes through the center of the rim?
Thanks for making this video.
My pleasure!

The 2 small vertical bolts with nuts are meant to keep the wheel straight . If not it's not straight when you spin it , you can adjust

does the m caps have to be in the right direction will it affect anything and how do you screw screw on without it spinning
What tyre is that ?
U need a go pro head strap because we couldn’t really see what u we’re doing. otherwise the video was almost really good
what’s that spray lube? where did u get it? do u have a link?
Make it yourself. Little dish soap ...no more than 5 drops to a fully spray bottle of water
@@cfab9677 what drill did you use for the take off the nut

how do you put the brake on ?
Front or rear? I'm assuming the rear, watch the video again, the caliper bracket should line up with the rim hole, then put them on the frame together
Anyone ever go tubeless on these?
Yea I've seen a channel called talaria boys do a tubeless set up
I hate all tubes.
Tubeless is great for offorad riding, yeah..
Good job
Wth I’m so confused on my sur Ron it looks way different it’s like everything’s flipped
Take it slow, it pretty simple process
Everything basically the same except the brake caliper mount i believe as far as this job..
I hate having to buy tools.
For a job you'll probably only do once a year? Yea same
Buy once cry once....if you have the tool you can do yours whenever you need to change or if u get a flat, or even charge buddies a couple of bucks to do theirs to help offset tool cost
Always go to the repair shop if you have lot of money

if you have arrow on your tire that mean its a front tire and you need to put the arrow reverse if you use it on the rear..
Terrible camera man
That sucks that it has a tube
Tubes are fine, been used in bikes since creation. Some terrain is not the best for tube, but they are fine for the average terrain
