Love the reality video which includes things like, "I am an idiot." Who has never said that at least once changing a tire. 😏😏🙄🙄👋👋 I like that tool for reducing the possibilty of pinching the tube. I have never had one of these tools. Recently I saw someone use a few 1 inch thick (I think that was the size) of wood say 3 inches long each placed between the tire and the rim to help keep the bead under the rim lip once this area has been installed. They use 2 or 3 spaced peices around the rim. This is to hold the tire lip down in the rim's valley during installation. I would not use silicone lube as it will remain slippery and then later the tire can spin on the rim. Glass cleaner or real rim slip lube will dry later which is preferred. I also like to sprinkle baby powder inside the tire so the tube does not chafe when it flexes against the tire as you ride.
I always just hit the tire with chain cleaner once I'm done to clear the silicone spray off, but it normally dries out if I forget. The Bead Buddies serve that same purpose to keep the bead from seating... I love them. Glad you enjoyed the content; I just stumble through things while the camera is running and people seem to enjoy it. 😆😆 LiKe AnD sUbScRiBe 😆😉
As you said it’s a process, but so is doing the job more then once cause you pinched a tube. May just order one of these, be handy to have!!! For riding with people with tubes lol
I have seen lots of different information about it, but typically I go by: if there's two dots the colors determine which goes where, if there's one it should go opposite the valve, if the moon is in Gatorade it should be three turns past a witches finger.... I learn from the internet so I'm not claiming I know; just to be clear. 😆
Sucks. Your choices are, it binds, or it is so loose it skips teeth when you start adding pressure. It also binds inside my wheel. Like, binds so much I had to use a mallet to get it out. Basically, it is worthless and I'd love my $150 back.
Never edits it all out, even after saying it time and time again LOL. Great video brother!
This some classic, by the book, tall man moto content right here fellas
Little educational, little stupid, all entertaining. 😆😆
Wicked video and instructions brother 👊 thanks for the lesson

Yeah I'd rather do it once maybe a few minutes longer than two or three times with stiff sidewalls and pinched tubes.
Yup! 👍🏻
It's the best!!
Hmmmm .. I don’t know mate , you edited that last bit pretty quickly.. it was suddenly on. 🤣
I was told the yellow dot on the sidewall of the tire is to line up with the air valve .

just dish soap lay it in the rim right and bam its in . i am over 70 now been doing bikes since 15
Well if anyone knows about being a tool...it's Matt
MATkita?
why would you take all the fun out of repairing a flat or changing a tire....you and your technology...."Back in the day we just used lighter fluid!
You and your carbs. 😆

I’m not a big fan of it because it’s only good for installing the tire and is 160.00.
50.00 stand is all you need and 3 good tire spoons.. Pinched tire happen in the woods not on the stand....
It's a specialty tool and I think absolutely essential for trailside repairs, or event installs.
Doesn't even work right. It binds or is too loose. It won't sit all the way down in my wheel despite being the exact right size.
Nice tool!
I know what you are thinking..... don't go there....
😆😆
All that grunting... I don't want to work that hard..
I grunt getting up out of a chair. My noises aren't an accurate scale of effort. 😂
