Thanks for a helpful presentation. I'm going to be doing a rim swap on my RE Int 650 and am looking forward to using your techniques. The zip tie looks like it will make the job much more civilized.
Wow, I can't wait to try the zip ties on my front tire in the next week or two. Last week I did the rear and it was a battle. Thanks for sharing, great video, thorough and clear!
Awesome video! I just found you and have watched several of your videos and have really enjoyed them all. This is the best tire changing video I’ve ever seen. The zip tie method is brilliant. I’m not a big guy either and have been dreading changing tires on my bike but not anymore. Thanks so much!
Finished removing the two tires (100 front, 130 rear) and remounting them on the new rims. The zip ties allowed me to mount them going left to right as the ties act as a bead stopper. No need for that yellow Thing and no need to hold down a tire iron with your knees. I used a modified Harbor Freight stand and mounted them standing, much easier than getting down on the knees. The zip ties make that possible. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for this. I was in the middle of changing the rear tire on my Goldwing and the tire is so fat and stiff I could not get it on the rim because I couldn't get it to sit in the drop center. I put 3 zip ties on the tire while it was halfway on the rim and it was just enough to get it done. Next time I put the zip ties on first.
I'm a total tightwad... how else could I have afforded such a nice bike! I bought the BMW used and it cost more than my last four cars COMBINED, so it was a bit out of character for me!
Great video mate,, keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Wish I'd found your videos before i changed my tyres it would have saved me struggling no end, cheers for the videos and keep up the good work 😊

The zip ties make it quick, easy and painless! Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!!
Here after breaking the bead video. Was wondering when would the follow up video be out. Guess I'm lucky
I figured I had to post all three of these at once!
Just ordered some tires for my scrambler, gonna tackle this soon. These videos have been a huge confidence boost! Thanks for the helpful how-to
That makes me happy! Thanks for watching!

So glad it helped. Yeah, the zip ties are a game changer! I actually like working on the ground for some reason, but that's probably just me.

Nicely done video. What did you use to break the bead?
I used 7 different methods... see them all here:

Like your pace so we can follow along.
Thanks
👏Bravo 🇩🇪✌
Thank you!
For someone who owns a nice modern GS, your zip tie economy is a bit surprising!
