Armed myself with the same tools and methods taught in this video for when I changed my own tires and I can say it was the easiest and fastest tire change I’ve ever had. Thank you so much 💪
After changing tires for over 40 years I finally bought a tire stand and some good tire irons. The first time changing a tire not on my knees or fighting a milkcrate or buckle was actually enjoyable. 10 years later and still add it but now changing Nitro Mousse’s.
This guy seems to have some sort of ADHD issue. Clanging spanners into everything and anything. I would like to see this wheel in person. I would be amazed if there wasn't some sign of damage.
My opinion is that scratches are part of the game, the sooner you accept them the sooner you will have fun, especially if you have to assemble the mousses. But even if you have inner tubes, there will come a time when you have to repair a puncture and remove a tire in the woods, which is very different than doing it in the garage.
Thats a MX problem! When you do enduro, you will scratch your rim with rocks on the first ride. You don’t care for another scratch when come time to change the tire 🤷🏻♂️
@RVmotoTravel I noticed the same thing. He is so careless with his spanners and tire levers so you can't tell me he isn't going to scratch a rim at sometime.
Excellent video on tire changing! I'm definitely saving this video for reference next tire change. Thanks much. Hope your Christmas was great. Have a safe and happy New Year
It is. I went from tyre irons flying across the garage to being able to change tyres like Jay does. Good tools, technique and I've made a stand from his specs. Makes all the difference.
Excellent video Jay. I have a question but sorry, not about tire changing. I am looking at Cardo intercom systems( thinking of Freecom 2X ), for just my son and I, and wondering if you have any reviews on which models/ systems you have used. And what date are those videos, so I can look them up. Any help is appreciated.
The way he's levering doesn't slide it across the edge. It's more of a roll over it. If you're scratching the rim, it's because you're sliding the spoon on the rim and using the wrong technique. It takes a little practice to figure it out.
I was wanting some of those yellow Dunlop tire stickers, and contacted Dunlop. They said that, although the average rider is their bread and butter and what keeps them afloat. They only give those stickers out to professional or elite racers. They must have never heard of eBay so I bought a stack of them and thought that I would sell some because I have way more than I will ever need well long story short I’ve made it a goal of mine to buy as many as I can and just hand them out to all of the c and d class riders I can find for free. I think your average person nowadays are tired of things only being for the elite.
Hey Jay, how about using the same stand and same tire irons and change a tire with a bib mouuse or tire balls in it? I'm guessing you don't think that a machine like the Rabaconda is worth it?
Hi. I've been changing dirt bike tires for a little more than 46 years, and I'd like to mention 2 small things and 1 big thing. It's best to start with the sprocket side down, which you did, and you can slide the first bead all of the way over the rim lock, rather than fighting the first bead over the rim lock after having the first bead all of the way on the rim. The big thing is that damned stupid tape crap!! If you don't keep a bike for long, or you cut off the tape with every tire change, then tape is OK. However, water and dirt will still get under the tape, and corrode the spokes and nipples, and of you don't take the effort to clean and lube the nipples, you will end up with spokes that can't be tightened. The rubber band costs two dollars, and it's much easier to remove and replace than the tape. I can not count the number of wheels and spokes that I've had to replace for people that thought that the tape would keep dirt and water away from the nipples. All of you cheap, lazy people that have been recommending this for the last fifty years, have done incalculable financial harm to the people that listened to you!!! While your bad advice makes me money, you do a disservice to people that are looking for advice, but don't understand the bigger picture about maintenance. If you are going to recommend tape, at least let people know that they need to remove the tape whenever they change a tire, and clean and lube the nipples. The "tape trick might have been an OK idea in the fifties and sixties when dirt bikes had steel rims that didn't last very long, from the seventies on, taping without regular removal to clean and lube the nipples has just ruined countless wheels, spokes, and nipples. Cut it out!!!
I honestly don’t understand why anyone that’s not a professional run tubes, flats are the fastest way to DNF. With new options like mousse balls you have “pressure” control with no flat risks. UltraHD tubes really are not much lighter so the weight argument is not valid. Sure you can make adjustments but most people don’t anyway they run 12-13psi all the time, so just run a mousse and stop worrying about flats.
The trials guys are extremely picky when changing tires. They use those million dollar European rims, yeah not really a million dollars but very expensive. I'm into both enduro and trials which in some ways relate to each other in a way.

I’ve changed many a tire in my 63 years but never as easy as you, time to learn your method!
that tire iton is metal so explain how this doesnt scratch or mar??

Nice clean job, thanks for sharing it. Regards from Costa Rica, Central America.
Let me wipe it off, so you can see the new scratches
getting scratches on the trail or track is one thing, getting them in the shop is another.
My opinion is that scratches are part of the game, the sooner you accept them the sooner you will have fun, especially if you have to assemble the mousses. But even if you have inner tubes, there will come a time when you have to repair a puncture and remove a tire in the woods, which is very different than doing it in the garage.

Exactly
If you know what you are doing, you won't scratch a rim. In the woods or the garage.
Agree, but mechanics has to try not to scratch otherwise customer can complaint, I do it by my self and dont worry for a scratch here and there
So at 5:30, thats not a brand new scratch, huh??😂
I seen it to... Went to the replies to make sure i wasn't the only one. Thanks
@Doc-jw4iy he's had other scratches on previous vids when exclaiming to have absolutely none too, haha!
@RVmotoTravel I noticed the same thing. He is so careless with his spanners and tire levers so you can't tell me he isn't going to scratch a rim at sometime.

Thanks for the how to! Guess I'll be building myself a tire stand from Lowe's parts when I get my bike
I like to blow the tube up to seat the bead, but then I’ll let the air out and fill to normal pressure before I tighten the bead lock.
He's just the pro is all , thanks bro
Did his with a mx14 big bike and little bike and man that tires was hell to get on
You make it look so easy 😊
It is. I went from tyre irons flying across the garage to being able to change tyres like Jay does. Good tools, technique and I've made a stand from his specs. Makes all the difference.
Damn you make it look easy. I want to see you do a mini or pit bike wheel that smooth
Excellent video Jay. I have a question but sorry, not about tire changing.

Yes. We love cardo. Email Jay - contact info in About tab. So he can get you all the info you need!
Cling wrap works good for the bead
I understand the scratches, but what about when you roll the spoons over the rim?
The way he's levering doesn't slide it across the edge. It's more of a roll over it. If you're scratching the rim, it's because you're sliding the spoon on the rim and using the wrong technique. It takes a little practice to figure it out.
@@smileyguyz if you say so. Even my bead buddy scratches
Can you please do an 18 and 19 inch rear Sedona SR ?!? Patiently waiting ...🤪🤦♂️🤦♂️🤪🤦♂️
nice tips, thanks

Skills!!
You don't scratch rims putting the tires on I guarantee you will scratch them taking the tire off
What is a stunt tire? Lol.
Great work!!
I use dish soap 50/50 with water. Dries clean and stays on petfect to help with bead seating.
Jake you are the Dirt Bike Guru, Keep up the good work, Got to say what happened to the music(rock) in the back ground. All the Best in the New Year 🍺
Very cool 😊

This looked like a pretty sketchy tire change in my opinion.
I agree 100%. I'm wondering if this guy has ADHD.
Was that a fake rim??? 🤣
No it was a mock tire 😂
@ 🤯
It's all cgi

Did you take the needle greaser and grease the wheel bearings
