Shows you how to fit a folding tyre on a road bike.

I've installed tires for many years, but recently my method has resulted in three consecutive blow outs. I have steel rims from the 1970's (love them) and my new tires came folded, which had me question the compatibility with those rims. Before giving up on them I will reinstall them using your method. Thanks for showing this so well!

Thanks Pete! Nice, simple instructions. I was almost able to keep up, despite never having done one of these before. Much appreciated.

Fantastic video

[@dannyo3317]

Thanks for the video. While I could have put the tire on without your video, I don't put tires on frequently, so it was helpful to keep me from having to re-learn tire changing, or, from using a more difficult technique, both of which would have cost me additional time. With that said. you added some fine points to the technique that I would not have thought to do.

Interesting - more work than a wired trye?

[@dhpetebarker7386]

Yes and no. Folding tyres can be more "fiddly" because they're less rigid but wired tyres can be more difficult because they're more rigid!
