50 years in garage workshop and have never seen the tube put in the tyre before putting the tyre on the rim, Brilliant

@WaterDR-tw8re Год назад

Honestly not sure if this is a sarcastic comment or not. But never, have I have swapped a tire. But I just did on my 650. And put the tube in first. I mean, how else are you supposed to?

@juhoukkola2306 Год назад

@@WaterDR-tw8re you can put one bead on rim, then put tube in, and then put the second bead on.

I have a 2022 Himalayan with about 5000km this video was very helpful Thanks

@arthamilton2379 Год назад

Okay, it was nice of you both to tour your watchers through this procedure. Those of us who watch your videos enjoy, somewhat, diversions like this. However, no one pointed out that most tires have a small circle of paint where the lightest point of the tire is, and it is necessary to position this in line with the valve stem. This is to help balance the tire. Next, I kept cringing when Jen was using the tire irons, because no one told her that you must hang on to both irons, so that one doesn't fly up and take your eye out. Even though 'tight enough' can get you home, a torque wrench should have been demonstrated, because something coming apart at highway speeds could be fatal. The rear pads are squealing because they are glazed, and a diagonal x cut to break up the harmonics would cure this. Tire size...the first number is the width of the tire in millimeters, the second is the percentage of that width in height. A wider tire with a low height percentage could end up being lower than original. A big enough change affects both your speed, and your effective gear ratio for torque. I watch all your videos and this is the only time I felt anything but thankful.

Wow thanks for all the words of wisdom, I'm always learning so I appreciate these comments.

@chuckwilliams6294 Год назад

Great video! Be advised that I and other Himalayan owners have had the mushroom shaped "nib" (that retains the side stand spring) as well as a short section of cylindrical steel break off, causing the spring to come off, and the side stand to then come in contact with the road surface if you are in motion. Heavier riders standing on the left peg during discounts (with full panniers) may be a possible factor, or it might be attributable to practicing the "side stand balance maneuvers" as depicted in this video. Fortunately, the complete side stand assembly (and package of two springs) only cost around $25.00 from a stateside R.E. dealership.

@allans7281 Год назад

Terrific video! This is useful information. thank you! Tube tires seem archaic- we should have the technology to make every tire/rim tubeless. Tubeless tires are easy to fix on the fly

@alexfajardo8809 Год назад

Great video. I tried to install same tires on my himi but unable to finish them. I find the rim too stiff to pull at the end…😅. Andy advice? Besides to visit the local garage …!

@danagerds Год назад

Awesome video! Ijust got some mitas eo7 s and would love to put them on myself, but the sidewalls are very stiff on those. Very good tips love my 2021 himi!!

@SUDIPTA1976 Год назад

Really awesome and helpful video tutorial. I would like to know which brand of tyres have you used? I am from India, South-East Asia.

@precipiceofgrind Год назад

On the Himalayan this was my first tire change so on that bike only the CEAT's and the new Shinko's. I think the Shinko's are serving me well for the riding I do. I also have experience with Tusk D Sport tires which are also a very quality tire. Thanks for watching!

@OrangeManStan Год назад

Poor explanation of the tyre numbers. The 130 is the width in mm. The second number is a % of the width IE 80% of 130mm. This is why if you are going wider you want a smaller second number to keep the rolling diameter the same or similar.

@motometaphor Год назад

What are the sizes of the tires you installed. I think they are a little wider than stock but I didn't catch the exact number

@precipiceofgrind Год назад

The front was the same, Jen moved to a 130/80-17 for the rear...a little wider.

@Hunter1st Год назад

I don't get why some bikes have tubes. Is it just easier/cheaper to manufacture?

@Dave-in-France Год назад

With std. spoked wheels they always need an inner tube, to hold the air in. It is possible to modify/seal a spoked wheel so you can install tubeless tyres.

@Hunter1st Год назад

@@Dave-in-France my super tenere, stock, has tubeless tires on spoked wheels. that is not true that they need a tube.

@pslchile4410 Год назад

thought you were gonna do the tubeless conversion... anyway thumbs up fot the video.

@danagerds Год назад

Converting those rims to tubeless is not a good idea, a lot of work and then the bead might not be strong enough to support the mod. Better to just buy tubeless rims and fit them if you can find them.

@johncummins3860 Год назад

Always start at the valve when removing tyre & finish at valve when installing as the tyre beads can fit further into centre of rim !

@bazzz707100 Год назад

This guy does not change tires very often, no rim protectors improperly use of tire levers painful to watch.

@Dave-in-France Год назад

I would not want these guys working on my bike - they made a real pigs breakfast of swapping out the front tyre; can't be bothered to use a torque wrench.

@boxatricks Год назад

A torque wrench is a luxury out on the trail when you have to change a tube. If you're experienced working with tools, either DIY or in a workshop environment the 10 to 14ft/lbs is easily gagued with experience.

@arthamilton2379 Год назад

@@boxatricks I think you're missing the point. Demonstrating the torque wrench displays the visual aspect of about how much twist the fastener needs. No one is likely to carry a torque wrench out into the wilderness. But mechanics are very skilled at deducing about the right feel for a fastener, and amateur users have not likely had this exposure. So the demonstration serves to educate everyone as to the appropriate amount of twist that the spec involves. I have trained 15 apprentices through their trade while doing my job for 44 years. I respect your challenge at being filmed while you proceed with a normal operation. I am federally certified for HD Mech Journeyman and Automotive Electrician Journeyman, seven and a half years apprenticing. Your assistant appeared to be quite alert and knowledgeable.

@Dave-in-France Год назад

@@arthamilton2379 Forgive me, but I think you are missing the point. This wasn't a tyre change out in the 'bush' - this was work carried out in a professional bike workshop. So I would expect in a workshop to take care of my bike to a professional standard.
