This is a GREAT way to change a tire. That being said, I just had my first opportunity to change a tire that had been mounted with this method. I used Ru-Glyde as the rubber lubricant upon initial installation. I had a terrible time getting the tire off the rim to change the tire. The lubricant had dried and it was extremely difficult to break the bead and get the tire off the rim. I ended up pinching the tube with one of my tire irons. It may have been because I used the Ru-Glyde instead of the tire "grease" mentioned here. I definitely recommend this method but it might be best to use the more viscous lube that Adam uses.
You need to use a high quality rubber grease, which then helps waterproof the inside of the tyre anyway. I prefer not to lube the bead as this works in conjunction with the rim lock to stop the tyre moving. Greasing the tube is effective when done properly - I've managed to hit rocks hard enough to dent the rims, yet not get a puncture.
The tyre levers are Metzeler.
Very thanks for it! It was on 2011 and it's now new for my eyes and poor knowledge, about rubber grease trick looks awsome but...
Can you tell me if I can find more details, web forum, pros and cons about this trick in long time usage? Sure you know so well what happened all this years ago.
Excuse my wrong english please!
Thanks to you Sr!
@ ever heard of google?
@@nickovdub6131 Have you used rubber grease by long term in your tires?
@ all the time.
@@nickovdub6131 So, what is the answer to my question?
This is the best tire changing video I've seen yet! I've been changing my own dirt bike tires for nearly 10 years now and there's some tips and tricks here that I didn't know about. I think I'm going to give this grease method a shot, maybe I'll get more life out of my tubes as well.
Also I have no clue where in AUS he's riding but the trails look so close to some of the places I've ridden in LA and MS.
Really great video taking it step by step in a calm and good way. Thanks for the rubber grease tip. :)
Best how-to tire change I've seen. Thank you.
This is the best and most informed video. Actual real world beginning to end. Be looking for rear tire next.
Absolutely the best tire changing video I've seen. Thanks Mate (as you chaps say)
Dude, I love your old vids! Just did a ride from Barstow to Avi and back (on my '17 350) with some dudes on T7's. Cheers from a fellow West Coaster !
Why am I watching this? I don't have a bike or even a bike license
Still watched it til the end
Sounds like you neeeeds a bike, just do it :-)
Paul Smith I would like to have a bike but in where I live a bike cost quite a lot+ the insurance (which you must pay) Is crazy for bikes.
Bugger 😕
That sensual squishing sound of a tube going inside a tire thats why
Meth?
getting my ktm 350 exc f this friday! these videos are great! I like the trail tips, I'm not used to riding without a tool box close by, more please!
I never thought about greasing the tube. Great advice, thanks!
We use powder because it allows the tube to move just like grease does but it's a whole lot cleaner than grease.
I still refer to this video when changing my enduro bike tyres.. I know you’ve done a more recent one on the T7 but this is still my go too. Still greasing my tubes. Top work, thanks AR 🤘
Who's the strapping young lad in this flick ... haha, blast from the past.
Here on 2024. That front shock adjustment was even more informative to me
Nice tips, I've lubed both the tubes on my 200 now so will see how she goes! Thanks
Did this with a Michelin Enduro Competition IV and it was a nightmare. That thing's stiff as all hell, tire levers were bending like crazy, denting the rim. Spent a few hours sweating and cursing.
This was the best tire change I've ever seen.
Thanks, so well explained, ... and another thanks for your tips!
Thx! That last three minutes was really useful.
Brilliant, thank you. Cant wait to move to Perth with my KTM 350 SX, great times ahead,,
This guy is a legend, I don’t even own this bike and it’s helpful
Owyeah thx for the clip mate
Nice run 🤙🏻💪🏻
Grts from belguim
..thanx for another great video Adam!
Great video, there's some handy tips in there for me. Thanks for posting.
@volta229 Obviously you will bend the disc if you jump up and down on the wheel - especially if you put weight in the spoked area. The disc is flexible enough to handle a bit of pressure from my weight on the rim.
I know this is several years old, but if I ever have to fix a flat in the field, I think I'd just dig a hole big enough for the brake disc to sit in. For the rear, also have to worry about the sprocket -- of course.
Best tyre changing video I’ve seen 👍thank you
Great job Adam. Great tutorial. Ken
Congratulations for your videos Adam, very useful!! I have a question, where can I get levers like you use to dismount the tyre? Thank you!
great vid Adam . for the way you ride and rock edge and log smashing what tyre pressure are you running ? I assume 15 ish to avoid punctures but would love to know if its safe enough to go lower
I have the same pump! I've had it for years. Good little pump to keep with you in a cargo pocket or backpack.
can you tell me the name and model of the pump?
Great tips, Adam, cheers!
Excellent explanation..thank you
Plus, the bit about powder for an ass rash was funny.
Thanks mate...really helpful video!
Part 1 was amazing! Where are the others?......anyone know?
I have changed a decent amount of tires. You made that look easy.
Best tire changing vid!!
Great video. But i was wondering if these tires need balancing like a car tire when you put a new one on the rim ?
Great video mate!
Great video, well done.
oh man that looks like a sweet track!
good tips, Pirelli are great tyres
Great video, most instructional videos are crap. This one is nice
God I love this channel!!!
Thanks Adam, rubber grease on the tube, i'll have to try that one. Cheers for now.
Is part 2 out? Great vid
Wicked awesome. Subscribed from Maine, USA.
I have just got my ktm 65sx and put new tires on ti and it feels good riding on my bike
Cool, very need video, aspeciall for beginners!
Great stuff Mate, What part of Australia you in ? I travel to see my friends in Brisbane. In fact when I was over there last I met Kirk Hutton and he came back to live with me here in the states (Florida). We did some riding and GNCC racing. Going to be coming over in about a year again I hope.
I always enjoy my time with the Australians in offroad riding as I learn many different, new things about the sport / hobby.
Good times !
mate so bloody helpful thank you
That grease tip seams to be a good idea !!
good one Adam.
A pinch flat is caused by the tire contacting the rim during a hard impact with a trail obstacle ,pinching the tube in between. Too low tire pressure is the reason. That's why heavy tubes are more resistant to a pinch flat. A thicker tube can withstand the contact better.
Wouldnt use grease but each to there own
Mick Fitch iv been greasing my standard duty tubes for the last 3 years. Riding and racing at 10psi. Only had 1 flat, and it was due to dirt stuck in the valve stem cap, but because it was greased up i was able ride it at normal speeds all the way back to the truck in the dunes and whoops amd the tire and tube didnt burn up. Still running them both 2 years later!
E.DUNN well seems to work then
Mick Fitch yes in my experience it works well. But to each their own. I know people who get flats all the time. I ride a 150xcw and a yz250x so both light bikes. Greased up tubes might get lots of flats on a big heavy 450 still.
I ride a KTM 350 and a 300 Christini, silicone grease, not flats...6 years running almost every weekend.
Interresting tip to get the Fork in a relaxt position.
Buen video, gracias
Gracias excelente video !!
What about some tips on air pressure, I went with the mousses but don’t like the way they feel so I’m going back to tubes and play with the air pressure
Really nice instruction, keep em coming /Swe
Hello,
Could you share the brand of tire levers you use. The only ones I can find are cast iron, and they are way to thick to get behind the beat.
Kind regards
André
Thank, put tube in tire after pute tire on the rime,i using the tricks for replaces the front tire
nice.... great info.
Any tips for tires with two rim locks ?? its a lot harder to change a tire with two rim locks
nice tips. Though I thought a pinch flat referred to the tube being pinched between the tire and the metal rim? (not the tube being pinched between the tire and the tire) So i don't know how grease helps prevent pinch flats more than baby powder since i believe the pinch geometry is the same in either case. But I can't argue experience, just an observation/ question.
Great forearms you got there.
where can i get the tools you just used
awesome!
grt job frnt...................bcme ur fan aftr cing ths vdo
Hi have you got any good tips you can give me on completing a jump. Thanks
where can I get them tyre leavers from I have tried two types and am still pinching tubes now and then it's costly :(
awesome it work realy gooood! tnx :)
Can i drill a hole on the opposite side of the air valve to put a rim lock? Will it affects this procedure of changing tire?
hi adam. im in the market for a 250 but can't decide between ktm 250 excf, honda cry 250x or wr 250f. could you please tell me what is your personal favroite because i know you have ridden them all. and could you please tell me where you got the stickers for your bike? thank you.
dude your awesome
when your leaning on the rim when the brake is on the ground its not getting bent?
hey what back tyre do u recomend ???
greasing your tube is nice but how do you fix it when you get a puncture?
This is why you don't grease the tube. It sounds great in theory but when you want to patch your tube out in the bush in the heat you would curse the grease to no end. I understand the why but how many ppl ride or can ride like this man. We won't get pinch flats at 20 PSI front tyre if you anticipate and or lighten the front wheel over most obstacles. Grease attracts sand and dirt so badly it might attract a sharp sided grain and get a flat just by that factor itself. Keep it simple and use patience and maybe some talc.
Pretty impressive, although I dont think im gonne be carrying an extra front tire though.
Will the bel ray waterproof grease work?
What kind of tire irons you using Adam?
Great video, I've watched it a few times. I took your advice and tried using the red rubber grease for the tubes instead of talcum powder. A few thoughts and questions:
1. it creates a mess, a huge mess, so being very precise and well prepped is essential, you must have lots of rags and a good work space.
2. spooning the tire on with the rubber grease is much easier than with talcum powder.
3. after a few days of riding a guy parked near me noticed that I had oil leaking from the rims. it was the grease that had been heated and slipped out of the bead as I rode around. Is this normal and expected?
4. what do you do if you get a puncture and need to repair the tire on the trail/road? Is there a way to effectively get the grease off of the tube where you need to adhere a patch?
5. I found that the wheel weights I needed to add to balance the wheel were very hard to stick to the rim after the grease smeared across the area. Is there a good way to degrease the rim of the rubber grease?
Beyond those questions and observations is there anything additional you would add to your video that you didn't already cover? You made a great video please do more! I would love to see more about the following given your experience:
*How to carry tools for trail riding
*Riding in sand at speed and how to improve
*adding luggage to a KTM 350/500 - racks, bags and considerations
*Tools you carry when on the road - how to minimize weight and maximize utility
5 degreaser is your best friend and personally i don't use grease or powder and when trying probably only thing i use is bit of soap mixed with water in a spray bottle or a rag and and i wipe that around the bead of the tyre so i then pump it up and it helps align it then wash it off and don't have to worry about grease leaking out or anything like that but i have been changing tyres for a long time though and have probably changed a thousand
6. Grease attracts dirt and particles, which wears tube out even faster. Just imagine fixing flat tube in the woods full of grease...
Peter Ryan nice questions. Would love one day to see the answers..
I have been coating my tubes with silicone grease for 6 years running Hare Scramble races and just riding with friends.
You can't patch, but I purchase the thickest tubes on the market (Michelin) and never get a puncture or pinch flat, so I stopped carrying tubes. If I were to do distance rides, I'd carry a tube.
Never reuse tube or rim tape when changing tires. I've never had dirt and particles wear out my tube. That's ridiculous. I go through one tire a year front and rear, so one tube and one rim tape. I clean the rim on the bench wire wheel before starting.
I have friends that run bib mouse and Tubliss and both get flats, I don't. Most of my tires come from friends that got flats using one of those two systems and tossed them out with a tiny puncture, but brand new tread. Score.
Downside for people I know that use silicone grease - if you race hard you run the risk of twisting the tire on the rim. I'm gentle on my throttle and brakes compared to the pro guys, so never a problem for me. Ride smooth and you never see it.
I run 14 and 8 pressure in the dry, 10 and 5 in the wet, lots of rocks and roots in Hawaii
Brilliant
What about the grease that winds up on the bead? Does it not matter? I cleaned it with a shop rags but still....and it made getting the tire on stupid easy, but I'm worried that now all rotational force is being transferred to the rim lock....
It does matter he said not to get it on the rim.
@@SD-ir1vf gratitude. I should have payed closer attention. Gut told me it did so I went back through and cleaned the bead and rim with contact cleaner.
great!
Effin fantastic
who makes the tools you just used
I understand why you use grease but won't dirt collect easier inside the tire. I know it's sealed but I find a certain amount of dirt that gets through the rim lock and valve stem
Wish I’d seen this a long time ago
thx!!!
i really want a set of the tyre leavers where can i get them ?
Peter Jones www.mxstore.com.au they look like the Ballard’s levers .
Do you keep the bike stand in ya backpack when riding in the bush?
Spencer Wagner the sarcasm went right over your head didn't it
Spencer Wagner lol love the conversation.
Spencer Wagner I have been trying to figure out what to do if my new dual-purpose flats on the trail. I've always managed to have center stands on my road bikes, but no one makes one that fits my DR. I would really like to know how people manage it. ???
Rick Pearson I just picked up a single arm stand for the trail. www.endurostar.com/ The reviews are great. I, like you, was wondering how to go about tire fixes while on the trail...especially when in areas with no logs or big rocks.
Chris Ferree same as the big tub of grease
I might choose a soft compound tyre after this.
Thnk you
dude where do you get your stickers from???
Hi Adam :).
Good job.
That mass uses in the video for mounting the air chamber?
Hugs:).
Hi Adam!
Could you reveal what type of tubes you are using?
Standard, HD or UHD tube?
5:38 to anyone who just tuned in, you welcome
Really good quality...these KTM.....I understand why it is so expensive
cant i damage brake disc when i push it ro rock like at 8:30 ?
think powder vs. grease is a temerature thing. My riding range is between -10 and +30 C så maby that would favour a dry lubricant. Any one tried both in colder climates
Just scored a barn find ,,04 450exc can't wait to RIP IT,,,can't be more than 10hours on her,,all good advice Mr, who can't use that
3:40 - FYI peeps, don't do this with your foot without first stuffing some tissue in there, otherwise dirt and debris can come off your shoe and later ruin your bearings. Really great tutorial though. Thanks man!
