I've been riding bikes for 50 years, and I am a time-served motorcycle mechanic and I must admit that that is one of the best hacks I have ever seen.
👍
I'm with you, Brother! I remember back in the old days, scuffing the wheels with the old tire irons!
I missed that, how did you get the old rubber off?
@@davidboydarnott417
He didn't show that part.
Good question!
Maybe 6 hours chasing it around the floor with 17 tyre levers?
I would have to say 40 years of working on cars and motorcycles . This was the most impressive tire install. I have seen in my life.
Amazing technique. But I would like to warn fellow riders about the costly issues I've encountered over the years using soapy water. Moisture trapped between tyre and (steel rims on atv, tractors and cars ) rims. This moisture has nowhere to go slowly corroding the rim. I strongly recomend rubber grease, it makes everything even easier and when comes replacement time, the tyre comes off like a charm😊. Ride safe everyone
When youtube is put to good use. Absolutely loved it!
Excellent, and I like the way you saved your cable ties for reuse
40+ years of changing motorcycle, car, and lawntractor tires by hand, and I've never seen this cool trick!
I'm going to try this on my motorcycle tires that should be here in a few days.
I did that yesterday with a inner tube tyre, no fuss and no swearing, brilliant
That was absolutely brilliant. I just paid $150 for mounting, balancing and tire disposal. Never again. Thanks.
Been riding cars for 60 years never seen a tire hack this well executed
Hey John, thanks for taking the time to make this video! I recently changed my front tire on my scooter and although I bought those rim guards, my wheel got all scratched up anyways and changing that tire was one of the worst things I've ever had to do in my life, lol. I just bought a used scooter that needs new tires and I was dreading having to put them on because my wheels were probably going to get all scratched up but the method you showed should save me a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Cheers Mate!
Cool! maybe a video on how to take off an old tire because it's a more difficult task without tools. :)
Put it in front of your car/truck tire and drive up on it! Cowboy stylin'!
Maybe break bead then thread zip ties tween rim and bead and reverse the order ? Idk
Place the car jack on the side of the tyre then jack up the car, as you start the tyre bead is broken 👍 then just follow the procedures on the video and you are sorted 👍
@@LondonCarnaval I used this guys method to break the tire bead and worked great: th-cam.com/video/Q_9a62LPwVQ/w-d-xo.html
Wow, this is the first time I see this method. Amazing idea from a Grandpa..👍🙏
I've changed 100's of tires , including bicycle tires,car,truck, moped, but never a motorcycle tire..yet! Lol . This is the smoothest, coolest thing I've seen on TH-cam. Consider me a subscriber.👍👍
Excellent Job! Greetings from Holland
I'm at the Isle of Man waiting for the superstock race to begin and this video comes up. This is as brilliant as it gets! Thank you Sir for sharing! I will do this next time.
I've always changed my own tires and it's not something I look forward to. Scraped knuckles and rims are usually part of the deal. But this... wow! Going to try it next time. Thanks for posting.
Love to hear how you go. My interceptor 650 is due for tyres soon.
Thanks for sharing, I was just getting ready to go put my new front tire on my Harley and was dreading it until your video popped up, funny thing is I wasn't even looking for a diy hack or video🤔
Wow.
I was 51 years old learning this.
Thank you sir!
Me too at 48
I'm 58 well I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks
Brilliant idea and so simple 👏 thank you brother
Excelente técnica John 👍🏻
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
You sir are a genius, I shall try with my tubed dirt bike tire soon
That certainly worked! I’ve always found getting them off is much more difficult than putting them on. Purchased a decent bead-breaker for this purpose. The CO2 cartridges in repair kits usually dump enough air in to seal the bead if you use 2. Also - be careful with your brake rotors as they’re easily bent. Don’t ask me how I know.
Great job! 👍🏻
Getting old ones off can be a real hassle. Like just removed one worn front tire from custom that was it like 10 years old, anyway first time I've noticed dry rot on sidewall of motorcycle tire. Was really hard to get off. Also bought one bike years ago and it also had so hard tire (tubeless) that i decided to just saw it off the rim 😂
Wish I had seen this video yesterday. Would have saved me an hour of struggling and a few scratches.
Okay in so upset I spent 1 hour with tire irons in the freaking hot sacramento sunlight last week. And you did it in 30 seconds. Thanks for making me look my age 63. But really you did a great job. Stay safe and keep two wheels up brother.😊😊
Yeah Sacto heat can be brutal. I'm 45 minutes south of you and typically 1 degree different in temp. And I year different in age. I've tried tire irons years ago and gave up. I still keep the irons in my tool box as a reminder.
@@thinkingimpaired5663Hey, they. Are great pry bars and get the old garage doors back on track...
@@thinkingimpaired5663 Only thing is I'm wondering if somehow this method can be used to remove tyre ???
@@thinkingimpaired5663
Me, too! I've still got the old tire irons in the tool box. Must be from the 70s or the 80s!
@Phil C yes mine date back then to. I think I used them to successfully remove and replace an wheelbarrow 8 inch tire. But since I could only get Chinese rubber the inner tube failed in about 3 months.
I can't believe how easy it is. Great!!
43 and still learning, tks!!!
But how will my local BMW dealer survive without being able to charge hundreds of dollars for a tire change? 🤔😄 I guess it would be a bit more challenging taking a tire off, but definitely do-able I would think! Great video!!
Legend. The pro's usually nick my rims, even when they are taking care it's very difficult. I like this method. Unfortunately, you still have to take the old tyre off somehow, and I can't see a way without using irons.
Break the bead then slip cable ties in
I just used this method to mount a 135SR15 Michelin XZX tire on a 1966 VW Beetle rim and, although it not as quick and simple as in the video, with a little additional persuasion I was successful. Thanks for sharing John!!
Use thick cable ties and, next time, tighten them while you pull the beads (sides) together. The closer the beads, the better.
Well you have certainly educated me , what a great idea.👍👍
Creative and seems to work well !
I always mounted my supermoto slicks, also tubeless, with tyre levers, but with a nice plastic strip you can put at the edge of the wheel, no scratches as well.
Have been doing tyres, tubeless and tube (motocross) for years with levers and I can do it quite quickly. I do however use a stand so I can stay upright.
Excellent video!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Just Subscribed!!
I am really impressed. Never seen that before. I love it. Now the only slight headache is removing tyre's from rimms. Thankyou brother. Much safe mileage to you
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing 👍
Tip top solution by a very creative person ❤
You are now, one of my sensei, sir
Great! I will test this as I will change my front tire. Back tire is done after a puncture last year ;-)
I was expecting to laugh my arse off at a fail but instead i am supremely impressed and looking forward to the next tyre change, cheers!
If it was a 12inch tyre u would of got your laugh
Absolutely awesome mate great tip
Nice job mounting the tire John.
Brilliant absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing 👍
Throw those tires out in the sun to warm up first. Makes the job much easier if they are pliable.
Yea he looked like he was struggling
@@michaeltrivette1728 I once spent 3 hours mounting a front Dunlop trailmax mission. 3 ply tread and 2 ply sidewall. Stiffest tire case I have ever seen. Good times!
@@michaeltrivette1728 😂😂😂
@@charlespratt8663 I getcha
@Wollt ihr die Totale Impfung 😂😂
I thought the yellow dot went next to the valve, but superb method and video.
That is brilliant!! So so good!
I've just come in from my garage exhausted having got the worn rear scooter tyre off the rim. I googled local bike shops to get my new tyre put on the rim tomorrow. Having just viewed this brilliant way of mounting the new tyre, I'll give it a go . I've got plenty of those large cable ties.
How hard can it be!
So, why can't you use the same technick to take the tire off? just feed the zip ties in place once the bead is broken. Good video, my friend. We old timers need to hang tough. Thanks.
This is next level
I worked in the Tyre industry for year's, I could fit a michelin to the rim by hand. They are soft and pliable when warm don't try it in winter. As mentioned the hard part is getting the old one off.
Alan Henderson. Can this not be used somehow to remove tyre ? I guess not. Not until one side of the bead has been pulled over the rim
@nico Nine you are correct, something is needed to force the edge over the rim, not impossible, but likely to need a lot of force.
The old Citroën 2CV could be fitted and removed by hand with michelin tyres, I was much stronger back then. 😉
Awesome idea! Thanks
Nice great idea. Thank you biker brother
Ive seen similar videos before and it is an easy way to mount a tire. What you fail to add is how you removed the old tire. I’d like to see your video on how you remove the tire with no tools and tie wraps. Cheers!
Well done
Clever 👍🏻
What about rebalancing wheel?
Muchas gracias por su tiempo.
No way!!! Brilliant! Thanks for this. Curious to know if this was a lightbulb moment?
brilliant...absolutely brilliant...
That looks terrific John but those looked like new tyres going on equally new rims, I was just wondering how you get worn out tyres off older rims without a ton of grief.
You sound like someone who finds 50 quid & moans it wasn't 60 .
Break the bead on both sides then slip ur cable ties in under tyre
Top man, top job👍💪🤙🙏
This hack will throw many tire repair shop out of business 😜😜😜😜
Tehnik pemasangan ban tubeless , nice video 👍
Bloody fantastic!
Alright I'm sold. Next tyre change os going on like this
Will try this next time I fit tires on my Suzuki
Thanks for the trick mate
Very good, I love your idea.
Most impressive. And doubly so since you were spraying lube on the upper tyre bead, yet it was the lower bead that you didn't seem to spray that was being pushed down over the rim.....
Such a great hack! Thank You!
Fantastic.....but what about getting a tyre off....can the same idea be used.....not sure if you could feed the cable tyre though?
Wooww! This is a good one, thanks for share it
Nice one John!!!
That’s amazing 👍🏼
Okay. Finally ordering tires.
Genious! Bravo! 🎉
That's awesome . Thanks.
Been riding, wrenching and mounting my tires over 40 years now, and I'll be danged if this old dawg didn't just learn a new trick!
Just brilliant
This made me want to go change a tire.
A great video showing how to fit a tyre but how do you get the old one off without scratching the rim?
Great! I use slide bar clamps to collapse the tire. Helps on & off.
How?
Thanks for sharing this 🍻 awesome stuff ✌️
Great stuff
Brilliant!
Sorry to disagree with everyone, just liberally spray the tire rim and tube if used with silicone spray assembly is then surprisingly easy and the silicone is good for the rubber.
I would like to see how you got the old tires off. Bet you used levers then. But good to know for putting new one on.
Brilliant!!! Now do you have to have it put it on a machine to counter weight it? Another words, balance it?
Gosh, I may just ending up doing this sort of thing 😊 keeping in mind that we motorcycle riders use up quite a few tyres...✔️
So very helpful, thank you!
setting the bead is even easier .. wrap a ratchet strap around the center line of the tire & ratchet it up tight .. as it pulls in the tire & beads expand out to sit against the rim lip neat to pressure up.. a little crc556 helps slip bead over rim.. NEVER use soapy water it leaves water in the tire which causes excess heat expansion & pressure variances .. and isnt that great as a rubber lubricant .. 556 is absorbed by the rubber & evaporates in short time to create a firm dry fit & tire bead won't slip on the rim in operation even at very low pressures
Awesome 👍
Make a video of how to get the old tire off without having to go to the shop... Or without scratches on the rims.
Only learned this last year
Wow. I like that. Thanks you.
wow awesome !
Best hack I've seen for mounting tires.
NOTICE- IF YOU DO THIS, DON'T FORGET TO MAKE SURE THE TIRE IS ON THE WHEEL WITH THE CORRECT ROTATION!!!
TIRES ONLY GO ON ONE ONE WAY!
It would really suck to get the tire on the bike and see the arrow pointing the wrong way!!!
Great idea 😊
Brilliant
How many cable ties did u use to get the old one off ? Av u got a video of that ?
Muito boa sua informação...
Top tip, but I still wonder how you got the old tires of without using tire levers.
But how do You get the old one off, without the scratches on the rim?
Break the bead with the wooden handle of a large mallet...
Both sides
Squish.
Install zip ties.
I think...
Brilliant !!👍
Fcuks sake,no way!! I scratched my rim to buggery last tyre change..Super happy to come accross this.😊
