How often do you change your tyres? Have you ever had to replace them? Let us know below!
No I haven't as I have a tubeless setup I only got my new bike in October last year and haven't been out much on it due to the UK's weather
@@grahamleach4101 it's worth checking your sealant is still fine Graham. Depending on the storage conditions it might have dried up. You don't need to take the tyre off to do this though
I got my GT Avalanche hardtail second hand two and a half years ago and made 2500 KM before I replaced the tires with Maxxis Ardents. Thanks to BikeInn because of the amazing deal. Tires were shipped from Spain to here in Canada. Two weeks that are worth the wait.
😂 been doing my own tyres since I was 10. 30 years worth 😅. Must have gone through about 100 sets. Swiched to Vittoria last year. Super happy running Martellos on the rear and Motas up front. They seem to last so much longer than Schwalbe/Maxxis. 👍🏽
I usually change my tyres when the rear one is almost slick (yeah, sometimes I need to brake really hard 😁), I kept my OEM Continental Explorer Pro tyres for 7 years before I changed for the Schwalbe Racing Ralph. Now, I have a concern with clamping a tyre lever to the spokes, couldn't it bend a spoke and untrue the wheel with the time ?
When I put on a new tyre, I tend to inflate the tube a little bit to prevent from pinching it, as my engineer dad ever suggested.
It's handy to get a refresher on the basics of biking nice 1 Neil 👍
Thanks for watching :)
Perfect timing for me to remember the basic bike maintenance. Local bike shops near me suddenly started closing; I don't know why.
It seams to be happening all over at the moment sadly!
Cheers Neil its always nice to remember what to do,its not that often i have to do this.
Always good to have the basics dialled :)
Great clip, particularly for the issues i have with my Michelin E Wild enduro 2.8 tyre with cush core inserts on a 27,5 dt swiss rim with 30mm width.
Started losing air at a particular small point at the beam. Extended further by a few centimenters, but only happens whe i ride, not when the bike's at home on the stand.
Couldn't tale it anymore after i changed the valve core, toped up with better quality sealant, tried on my own to seat the tyre again on the rim.
Today i took the bike at the local bike shop hoping they would fix it better with their extra experience with tubeless troubleshooting.
Thumbs up Neil & gmbn team.
So glad I still run tubes. Works fine for my rides on the local loams, and no mess when doing the seasonal changeover to/from winter spikes.
If I’ve had a puncture then another step I’d ad if to always check there isn’t a thorn etc stuck in the tyre because it can then easily just puncture the fresh inner tube which is very frustrating!
Yes you are right, that and putting a tubeless tyre back on the wrong direction are both equally frustrating. It's always best to take the time to check!
And if you have DT Swiss rims, don't forget to check / replace the factory plastic rigid rim "tape", because when it's worn, it will cause a puncture by tearing off the valve from the tube. I wasted a couple of tubes before noticing it...
This is exactly why I'll never go tubeless. Too much hassell. I need to swap out tires regular(slicks/knobblys) as I've only got 1 bike. 2minute job with tubes and maxxis tyres. It's no biggy to carry a spare tube if the worst happens.
What sort of pressures do you run? Tubeless is much better for reducing punctures and you can run much lower pressure.
I agree with Christopher here.
I use Continentals Race King, Cross King and Mountain King tyres and like to swap and combine between the models, depending on the weather and surface conditions.
I use my Scale as a Road- and Mountainbike. So I want to be able to quickly swap my tyres to have the best tyres that suit the conditions, which is practically impossible with a tubeless setup.
With latex inner tubes I also have a very low rolling resistance which is very similar to that of a tubeless setup. I drop the tyre pressure down to 1,6 bar in the front and 1,8 in the rear without any problems.
So for me personally a tubeless setup would only cause complications and eventually a mess in my living room where I service my bikes.
Peace, out 🤘
@@gmbn stimmt nur begrenzt ! wer einen reifen mit einer steifen karkasse fährt und vor allem einen hochwertigen schlauch benutzt (nicht den mist den die hersteller in der erstausrüstung verwenden,) ist damit nicht pannenanfälliger als die tubeless geschichte. (orbea laufey auf wicked will super trail speedgrip reifen in 29x2.6 ) bei einem körpergewicht von knapp 90 kilo kein problem. aber wem erzähl ich das, ihr wisst es doch selbst aus erfahrung das so ist, auch wenn ihr die versaute milchgeschichte fördern müsst 😆 ihr solltet lieber einmal gestehen, das die meisten tubeless fahrer zur sicherheit einen ersatzschlauch mitführen, wobei wir wieder bei der pannensicherheit sind🤣
what? tubes are such a pain in the ass. tubeless is 500% better lol.
hassle vs hassell
@GMBN I have not done this yet but I find the thought of doing this on the rear more intimidating. Depending on your drivetrain/axle setup this could be more in depth. Could really use a follow up video with the rear that has a UDH setup since that will become the standard.
👍😎ive been putting my new wheeset off, cause the rims need taping up, hopefully i wont mess it up and the tyres leak air😅
Nice video thank you.
I like to spray a little soapy water on the side wall of the tire before inflating, it helps the bead to pop into place the rim.
As for stubborn tight tires, try leaving them in the sun for 10 minutes, it’ll soften the rubber a bit and make them more flexible.
That's a cool tip! Thanks for that. Another one would be utilising that well in the wheel, work the bead into that and you've got a surprising amount of slack
Thanks Neil My son lent me a bike to try .the back tyre kept going flat and had sealant escaping from the valve. I tightened the valve but it still lost air. I removed the wheel but it has a Insert and i found it imposable to remove. I am not as strong as I used to be any tips to remove tyres . also what is the best valve for tyres with inserts as a normal tubeless valve does not work.
Little unrelated anecdote; in 1997 our boss at the ski/bike shop I was working at customized the team's tires profiles with a belt sander, bike upside down on bars n seat, he shaved and rounded the side knobbies a bit.
08:50 «…a bit too tight»
Try mounting new DH casing steel bead tires on 26 inch Deemaxx wheels without breaking a sweat. Oh yes, just put the bead into the groove in the wheel, they say 😅
What is the difference between a 2.3 tire and a 2.30 or are they the same. Just asking cus im new and just confused about the tires and all that.
Same.
Good tip is, if you have trouble with sitting the tire correctly, is to use soapy water on the tire bead to make it slippery.
Mounting a previously used tire is far easier, I would've loved to see Neil struggle with a fresh one.
I spray the bead with soapy water before I use my air compressor to get the bead to seat properly.
That does sometimes help if you've got a particularly difficult one! We usually give it a trial go before going down that route though :)
Do a tire change for a fat tire tubeless bike. These are notoriously difficult to inflate the first time to get the bead to seat.
Top tip is to use the tube to seat the tyre first time round, then de-bead one side, drop some sealant in and the battle is half won!
I don't have a torque wrench to remove my wheels and torque them up I have through axles on my bike
Me too. This video is
You don't need one it's just more ideal and safer on components if you do
Sometimes with the Michelin dh22 I have to pump them to 65/70 psi to seat 😅 always a friggin unnerving experience...
That would be a loud bang if it unseats! Make sure you wear ear defenders 😂
Cushcore
What about it?
I store and repair my bike in kitchen, so inner tube gives me the confidence that no messy accident happens. Althou I drink milk, it is not the same kind. :-]
A certain brand's sealant does resemble strawberry milk, it's a good job they've written 'DO NOT DRINK' on the bottle!
@@gmbn My worries are mostly an "explosion" of sealant would contaminate kitchenwares or even food.
Every fingers nightmare😂😂
give him a heavy Down Hill tire and tube
I pinched 3 inertubes in a row in 1 day😅
Such a frustrating day!
Why tyre manufacturers don’t just print a cog on the drivetrain side is beyond me. Trying to imagine Rotation still catches me out now and again. Come on tyre people sort it out!
Most have a rotation arrow on the sidewall so there should be less guess work involved! Cog is a nice idea though
@@gmbn yeah but you still have to imagine the which way the wheel rotates. Been MTBing for nearly 20 years and it still caught me out last year!
I guess you are going back to your roots.
Yea, we believe that the new and less knowledgeable people coming into mountain biking are just as important as the experienced riders and bike nerds. We aim to keep a balance of content for this reason. Do you have any tips or good ideas for videos you think we should create for less experienced riders?
@@gmbn "Do you have any tips or good ideas for videos you think we should create for less experienced riders?" - ja hätte ich, macht aber bei leuten wie euch keinen sinn, da ihr jazu 100% am bewässerungskanal der hersteller hängt. als ob ihr schon mal etwas gemacht hättet was wirklich sinn macht, außer billiger werbung 😂das einzige was man sich aus unterhaltungsgründen wenigstens ansehen kann sind die beiträge von blake.
Shoulda done it with inserts fml 🤦♂️
Some can be a little trickier! One of those big plastic bins definitely helps in most cases though, put the wheel on that and push te insert into the well before beading the other side of the tyre as normal :)
Is it “tyres” or “tires” 🤷🏼? 😂
It is "tyre" in proper English, "tire" is an American mistake. 😂
why pour in liquid when the tube isn't broken wtf?!
Because it gives you a bunch of different characteristics and quite a few benefits!
You will find out it's tubeless when u take the tyre off, so the first check is totally unnecessary. And u do not need to take the valve core out at all... Come on gmbn🤦♂️
Checking before you rip the tyre off could save you from getting messy. There's various ways to check we are just trying to show them all 🤙
same old content again.............
It's fine if you don't need it, but it's a solid resource for newcomers to the sport and the channel. It has after all, been quite a while since our last tyre change tutorial. There will be plenty of other content this week and the next and the next, all for free which might be for you :)
More rinse and repeat... youve already done so many of these... come on gmbn... freshen up your content...
We've not made a tyre change video in a while actually. It's ok if this particular video isn't for you... but it will be for plenty of newcomers to our sport who have found the channel recently. We've got some rad stuff in the pipeline so stay tuned
I actually find this quite refreshing as I have seen the older tire change video that I used to change my tires last week. This one has more detailed explanations between tubeless vs. inner tube (I have the latter).
The key is to take your time and let the levers do the work. For inner tubes, soft enough to keep the shape.
I agree... this is getting tiresome (yep) Please freshen up the content....
