- In this video I replaced the rear tire on my 1992 Iowa built Linear Recumbent Bike. The new tire I installed is a Continental Ride Tour:
CAN: amzn.to/3k1mmR2
USA: amzn.to/38fDjow

I like that CJ doesn’t make things too complicated, he tells you clearly what you need to know to get the job done. Thanks.
Thank you.
Nice video Christopher! I like the way how you explain things in these bike repair videos. Easy to understand and also it looks like these bike repairs are not as difficult as one would think.
Thanks. Most bike repair are straightforward enough for the average person to do.
Mind blown! You mounted the tire so the valve is at the tire pressure marking. Love it! I’ve always subscribed to mounting the tire so the valve is centered on the tire label for ease of finding a hole/leak. Your method is much more practical as I find myself searching for the tire pressure recommendation on the tire more so than fixing a flat. Bravo sir, bravo!
haha thanks! The only issue I've run into with this technique (and it's only been on 1 occasion) is that the tire pressure marking might be in different places depends on which side of the tire you're looking at.
Very nicely explained. It nice to see a detailed how to or just detailed video of explaining the tactics used.
Thanks.
Cool. I learned a new trick or two, too.
Hope to see one of you riding and talking about the Linear.
Thank you for several useful advices, all explained very well.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Another great video CJ, see you out on the road soon!
Thanks!
Very informative. Thanks CJ...
Thanks!
Cjhoyle, you should use schwable marathon plus tyres, almost eliminates flat tyres
I seem to get very few puncture flats these days. Most flats I get are caused by the tires wearing out.
I found that I prefer to also mount the brakes levers on the bar ends.
This feels more ergonomic as well as having the brake levers under your hands at all times.
That's actually how they are setup on my other Linear. The bar-ends on that bike are much longer though and not curved.
I bought kevlar tires for mine to lesson the chance of a puncture!
Could you please do more videos on KWC trails? Your content is amazing :)
Thanks. What are KWC trails? I don't recognize that acronym.
@@cjhoyle Kitchener Waterloo Cambridge (KWC)
@@JatinderSingh-uz3ik Awe right! I actually have plans to visit that region this summer and will be making videos during my travels.
Just wondering what is the weight or approximately of the Linear bike?
I honestly have no idea, I've never weighed mine. While Linears are lighter than their only main competitor (the Longbikes Slipstream), they aren't known for being particularly light. I've also added accessories and done modifications to mine which make them heavier.
Is it normal for a new inner-tube to be larger than the actual rim?
When the innertube is inflated, I believe the inside diameter is normally slightly bigger than outer diameter of the rim.
