Very helpful video, when I’m at the track I always joke with my mechanic that real champions change their own tires and he never has time to teach me how to change them but now I can complete the joke and change my own tires
Just awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Bram. I was planning on purchasing tire tongs early this spring but after seeing this I'll be trying your method.
good video, but a couple of additions: - while inflating, it is correct that the rim has to point to the side in case of failures, but also keep your hands away if possible… just recently there was a guy that fractured his hand and wrist in three different places while popping on the tires and the rim burst. He had his hand inside the rim while inflating - do not exceed the max pressure of the tire while inflating/popping on. Often this is about 4-4,5 bar. Do not over inflate and 5-6 bar is often too much. Instead you can purchase a tire band/use some wide straps etc. that goes around the tire and helps push out the sides at lower presures.
Very nice! New tyres would be a bit more difficult, but wouldn't you be a bit concerned about damaging tyre walls with all the bending and flexing of the tyres?
als ik me nieuwe banden der op wil zetten en me lucht er in wil doen gaat ie aan een kant maar voor de helft over dat randje heen en sluit ie dus niet goed aan omdat ie der niet over heen schiet
hey matez just saw that u're tires have a yellow stripe, mines have a red stripe and we both drive exact same kart, does that mean anything or am i driving with wrong tires?
@@RedExions well i have the wrong tires then well being just slightly of the pace with the fastest guys on wrong tires, as a completly new driver kinda feels very good. thanks for telling me i'll drive on them till theyre dead and then get the D5's, cheers man
Good with a mojo but if you are trying to mount brand new leconts/mgs this is borderline impossible especially if it’s a cold day. I’ve had tons of friends use tire tongs and never heard of any damage to rims. Save your wrists and get a set
The “edge” you describe in the beginning of the video is actually the “rim”. The part that you refer to as the rim is actually the wheel. In other words the rim is the part of the wheel that forms the air tight seal. Not trying to be a know it all, just passing a little old man knowledge to the younger generation. Nice video by the way.
No, tire tools do NOT harm the rim. Been using one for 15 years, never had a problem. Maybe thats because i have been a mechanic for 47 years, and know how to use tools.
I would say my sponsor K-racingshop.com where you can get a 10% discount with code RED10 , but they currently don't sell Mojo D5. I'd then suggest checking out your local Rotax dealer
Young man, lets see how those hands are doing in only 20 years, they will no longer work properly. TOOLS are designed to do the job easier and smarter.
My tires do NOT do that... trust me I tried... do you PRE prep your tires because no way in hell do my tires do that... yes off the back side,... no friggin way
Very helpful video, when I’m at the track I always joke with my mechanic that real champions change their own tires and he never has time to teach me how to change them but now I can complete the joke and change my own tires
Good luck man! It does take a little bit of practice
Love the old school method of doing tyre changes, it can also be quicker then using the tongs.
Yes exactly. I could probably do it quicker by hand than with that tool
Just awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Bram. I was planning on purchasing tire tongs early this spring but after seeing this I'll be trying your method.
Yes, just give this a try. You can always purchase those tongs later if you can't do it by hand
Thank you for doing this video, I just completed my first tire change and this helped enormously!
Great presentation. Needed some guidance for changing mower tyres without tools.
Excellent. I love that method. Hard to begin and very easy when you have understood. Congratulations.
That’s cool never knew that was possible will be trying this 👍🏻
Yes mate just practice. It's a really usefull skill to have
Great! Thanks for the video.
Very well explained and clear. You are a Pro. I am now ready to do my tires thanks to you.
As a recent 1st time podium finisher in Micromax I find this useful to change my tires to all rookie tires from mojo tires
Congrats on the podium man! This really is a usefull skill to have
@@RedExions yeah thanks I was supposed to get 2 but I got Verstappened (Abu Dhabi 2021) by my biggest competitor
Je legt alles zo goed en duidelijk uit, heerlijk om naar te kijken, super leuk man!! keep it going!!!🤩🤩
Top dat je het leuk vindt!
Good video ! It helped me allot to change my first karting tires 😎👌💪
Great videos, really help me as a new karter, thankyou!
Had a lot of trouble using this method for changing my first pair of brand new cold tyres those thing were so hard to like bend and fold on
Put them on the sun before trying to change them or use o heat gun
.they will be softer enough
This was very helpful thank you so much
Very good video, I will try that for sure!
Took me a minute but finally got better at it thank you!
Thank you best video on RUclips about this man!
Thank you! You just gain a subscriber and I got my tires mounted in under 5 mins!
8:25 I can just hear you almost lose it, that was too funny LMAO, at 9:57 as well, that smile lol
Yes this video had waaay too many innuendos lol

Thanks bro worked for me in new Zealand
Great video 😉👍🏻😎🏁
Took me two hours to take off my tires but I did it. It works
Great video, my man! Thanks!
This really was excellent and helpful. Thank you 😁
Thank you for this info😊
Worked perfectly
Great job!
Very nice! New tyres would be a bit more difficult, but wouldn't you be a bit concerned about damaging tyre walls with all the bending and flexing of the tyres?
I've never damaged my tyres by doing it this way
@@RedExions I'll have to give it a try it this way because l don't like how the tool scratches the rims
Thanks finally did my tyres..
Awesome tips! Are you Dutch by chance?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Man nice video
That smile at 6:31 :)
Great video! Quick Question: would you wrap brand new tyres in plastic foil to stop the grip going off as well?
I'm wondering if you can still use the tire after changing it, cause it get really bent. I need answer fast!
We hit the button 😎
I'd like to see you do this with Evinco Blues
Ok the real question is: How many girls he picked up with this ? 🤣🤣🤣
One to be exact, me :)
Yes :)
Need tutorial for Vega White Front tires, thanks 😅
How much pressure is safe to put in the tire before it blows?
was that a Trully Kart on the wall???
Btw. we meet in Roskilde - i was the kz2 dad/driver (both)
Your zip up sweater looks nice ! Where di you buy it i need one !!
Hey man, this is old teamwear from a team we used to run with and work for. The brand is Freem !
dang bro try this on some hard evinco (MG) blue tires! lol. I gave up and took them to the tire shop.
Ziet er erg makkelijk uit, maar leg je ook een nieuwe set banden met je hand erop? Deze zijn namelijk een stuk stijver dan een gebruikte set
Ja hoor, geen probleem
hi mate, just wondering how you join a karting team, ive been wanting to for like 3 years, any help would be greatly appreciated🙂
Hey man, it's literally just a matter of giving them a call and then paying the bill afterwards
als ik me nieuwe banden der op wil zetten en me lucht er in wil doen gaat ie aan een kant maar voor de helft over dat randje heen en sluit ie dus niet goed aan omdat ie der niet over heen schiet
There’s not enough space to fold the tire the rim is in the way??
hey matez just saw that u're tires have a yellow stripe, mines have a red stripe and we both drive exact same kart, does that mean anything or am i driving with wrong tires?
Red stripe is the D2 tyre, so for Junior Max. D5 has the yellow stripe and is for Senior. Also, D5 has quite a bit more grip
@@RedExions well i have the wrong tires then well being just slightly of the pace with the fastest guys on wrong tires, as a completly new driver kinda feels very good. thanks for telling me i'll drive on them till theyre dead and then get the D5's, cheers man
I like how the rear rim looks like a trophy.
I see what you mean lmao
Good with a mojo but if you are trying to mount brand new leconts/mgs this is borderline impossible especially if it’s a cold day. I’ve had tons of friends use tire tongs and never heard of any damage to rims. Save your wrists and get a set
I can do LeCont's too, no problem. MG I have never tried
8foot 2x4 piece of wood wedged under a car tire makes a very cheap tire press 😄
Just be carefull you don't damage your rims ;) A tyre press can usually be had for around 30-40 bucks
It’s like taking tyres of LEGO speed champions cars😂😂😂
Well, it's basically the same

power republic和你我都关注了，你们做的内容都很棒，我收获很多
6:30 ayo Red what are you doin'?
This is a really good opportunity to make a cheap joke about your female parent, but I wont :)
Your mom
5:11 "when the hole is big enough, just put your fingers in here"
that's what she said
Doesn‘t work the tyre doesn’t wanna go on the rim dude what do i do wrong
top video, hier heb je wat aan
If you think a certain way this video is so funny
No, tire tools do NOT harm the rim. Been using one for 15 years, never had a problem. Maybe thats because i have been a mechanic for 47 years, and know how to use tools.
Usefull thank will try it
Where could I buy mojo d5 tyres?
I would say my sponsor K-racingshop.com where you can get a 10% discount with code RED10 , but they currently don't sell Mojo D5. I'd then suggest checking out your local Rotax dealer
Not with brand new hard compound tires. Has anyone noticed every one of these guys mounting tires by hand are old soft tires ???
My tires aren’t folding I don’t understand
do it with a mini bike tire
👍
I always forget to lube the hole😂😊
Nah you made that look way to easy, what if the sidewall is to hard. Do you have any tire tools at all beside the scissors
Nope, I just have the press and I don't think there are many tools. The tyres that I used in this video actualy have a decently hard wall
SL22 tires are not as easy by hand.
Young man, lets see how those hands are doing in only 20 years, they will no longer work properly. TOOLS are designed to do the job easier and smarter.
Old tire is way softer than a new one
14:10 JJAJAAJJAJAJAJ
Im going to this pure so i can get a sister from a other driver 😅
Good luck on your quest mate
🥂🥂🥂
KartRepublic wheels 💀
My tires do NOT do that... trust me I tried... do you PRE prep your tires because no way in hell do my tires do that... yes off the back side,... no friggin way
Without tire tools as he uses a fucking tiretool
Used tyres are always easy to put on😂
