For those of you wondering, my nikola has 5000km on the clock and the tyre has about 1.3mm of thread left, brand new thread has 4-4.2mm thread so about 1000km eats away 0.6mm of thread
Any recommendations for step 7. Disconnecting the battery is easy but the three cables to the board is a bit tougher to remove. Do they just wiggle off?
Thanks for this! Just wondering how many miles were on your Nik when you changed the tire? I've got a 2.7 KWh Nik+. I just love it. I was surprised what a difference a new tire made on my V8 after 2700 miles. Some rain today, so no wheeling. :( I ride almost every day. 15-20 miles per day on the V8 and 20-35 per day on the Nik. Went my furthest the day before yesterday, 50 miles. With speeds between 25-35 mph, because of riding on the roads with cars. I'd rather ride slower to the side or in a bike lane, yet there are only a few places here in Maine with them. Its either the rough sidewalks or the streets. Oh well. WE RIDE! Peace from Maine...Guy
A worn tire has more area around the bead to slip off. One of the techniques for working with new tires is to preheat it with a hairdryer, or heatgun, should help the process along.
these small plastic pieces on the lower section are a nightmare. I just wished they could be removed as easy as on this video. Pulling out and up, for hours. Both stuck.
