THE BEST WAY TO CHANGE A TIRE WITH CUSHCORE + TIRE TALK 

Haha, I almost decided against uploading this because I was wearing crocs. I can't help it, easy slip on bike-work shoes!

@@JesseMelamedMTB can't agree more 👏🏼👍🏼

Crocs are pretty rad if youre lazy like me. I wear flip flops like 365 days of the year. Shit I just bought a pair of Five Ten Sleuth slip ons so I dont have to tie my shoes when I want to hop on my bike for a quick jaunt around the neighbourhood.

You dont get to choose the #croclife it chooses you 😉🤘

Better watch it... I hear those crocs, the holes, they let your dignity just run out onto the floor. ;)

They are awesome! They're a bit soft so be careful really wrenching a tire off with them.

It does sound crazy. Tubes and tires seems so simple.

Glad you like them!

That's awesome! I'm stoked to hear my video helped!

Glad to hear it! Hopefully these tips help you out!

I have done that as well but don't always nail it. Nice that you've got it down!

Agreed not as hard as doing the old bib moose on the moto one thing you can ad is wet the beads of the tyre with a wipe of sealant makes everything slide together nicely.

Good grip strength training!

Glad to hear you found it useful!

Same here! Glad you found some of this helpful!

Nice! Glad you got something out of it! Thanks for saying so!

Glad you like them! I need to bridge the gap between my race videos somehow!

@@JesseMelamedMTB I want to racing very bad but I don't have a enduro bike and I can't find a alloy altitude anywhere !

It is going to be a tough year for that! Just keep an eye out on your buy/sell and your local shops.

@@JesseMelamedMTB Will do thank you for responding I didn't expect a response this quick!

haha always a good time. Alcohol helps.

Nice!

haha

If that’s the case then definitely stretch out the Cush core beforehand. It won’t need to be as tight if there is no well for it sink into

Are you still having trouble with that tyre? haha

Glad you think so!

I think he's riding the Altitude now.

@@davidesparon1487 thats right ! Typo my bad

The Altitude is just more of a race horse. The Slayer can go fast but it takes a bit more work, it's more of just a fun bike to ride. You won't be disappointed with either!

haha Thanks!

I think that does become a possibility, it would still do the majority of its job well, but it may not limit the tire roll as much. It still would be way better than not having cush core, but it wouldn't be as good as new

Hey if it’s still going it’s still going! Saved a good bit of money.

Correct assumption! I change whether I run CushCore front and rear depending on the race.

@@JesseMelamedMTB Thanks for the response and finally if you are racing with CC do you only use it in the rear? I have found i only need it in the rear

Depends on the track! I ride around 19-20 psi front and rear with cush core

I would think in a competitive race situation youd ride until you couldnt. Safety considered of course.

In most circumstances I would finish the stage as is. It's definitely totally doable without damaging the rim. That's a huge bonus that isn't talked about, with the CushCore. It allows you not to lose too much time in a race. In Chile, years ago, I was sitting in 3rd going into the last stage and flatted with 5 minutes left or so and I was able to still charge and held onto 5th place. I would have been waaaay further down if I didn't have CushCore in.

@@JesseMelamedMTB thx Jesse! Good luck this season!!

haha it's a handy little thing!

I was rockin

@@JesseMelamedMTB hell yeah brother 💪. Nice video BTW I've been changing tired forever and never knew what the clips were for on most tire levers

@@anxietyphase9427 They are really helpful!

Dhr2!

It'll go before racing, thanks for the concern.

Did you watch the video?

@@JesseMelamedMTB Yes i did, i would like to hear from professional riders how they do about carbon foot print and change tyres when they are really really beat-up...

Ok, well I do a lot to reduce my footprint. That includes what I mentioned about bringing home our one-use race parts to keep using at home and run them into the ground, rather than just putting brand new stuff on. I am constantly trying to reduce the amount of product I burn through. I also don't drive to the trails when I'm home and limit my travel when I'm not going away racing. I also buy carbon offsets for all my traveling and the rest of my life.

haha sure, you live in squamish?

@@JesseMelamedMTB wish i was, i’m from Italy🥲 havent tought about how hard is to plan the shipping😖 Thanks a lot man🤟

haha fair enough

Too late.

@@JesseMelamedMTB now you know for next time but until then I hope the tire holds for a longtime
