So you still haven’t showed me how to change a TIRE! Thanks for wasting my time.
Great video thanks.I would just like to add that if you have difficulty in locating the cause, you should inflate the punctured inner tube to such a pressure to allow you to hear the hissing of escaping air. This should bring you to within a couple of inches of the puncture, where-upon you merely poke your tongue out and feel for the escaping cold air blowing onto the wet surface of your tongue.Line up the innertube against the outside of the tyre,and you SHOULD be able to locate even tiny bits!
LOL. Jill and Bizzy send their thanks.
hilarious lol
Wow Jill is hot, and so is her friend. On that note, i need to change my tire, so im gonna be watching this video over and over and over; Good thing Jill doesn’t get tired of changing tires because im gonna make her change like 100 by the time im done changing mine
its it ice cream?
those are pretty good, too bad they dont sell them in more places in socal
It’s “it’s”.
now im not saying not to look for the source of your flat, try twisting the tire open so you can see, save your fingers!!!!
I had to do this with no tools and with a new tire my fingers hurt lol i had to use my thumbs
bueno video muchas gracias.
its you are or you’re.
nice try though dumbshit.
your fuckin stupid
yeehaw
awesome more instructions on how to pull over then how to actually changer the tire!

ONE star from me.
Great video, thanks!
What about showing how to build a carbon bike yourself with nuclear thrust…
Dude, how is it possible to show all that in one video. Looks like someone is not very thankful. Remember; don’t whine, but come with solutions.
Sorry, can’t stand whining people like that
Video is for novices. What about checking the chevron pattern and drive side? Lining up the valve stem with the tire graphics? Thin tubes that pop easily? Etc.
Hey thanks for the great video. I’ve been neglecting getting this done, and finally got some tire levers the other day, watched your video and went out and did it myself. Very helpful. Although I found getting the tire back on in the end was easier by just using brute force and my hands.
This is pretty much it – not so sure about using tyre levers to but the tyre back on though (last resort)
And yes I have cut my hand checking the inside of the tyre for the cause of the original puncture!! – It’s worth it though another flat a couple of hundreds yard up the road is a real bummer!
Thanks. Just buying a road bike today after years on a mountain bike. I know I’ll need to learn how to do this. Great info.
Good Video.
OK again with the running your fingers along the inside of the tire!!!! what if your tube was damaged by a sharp piece of glass… now you can use your old tube to tie off the cut, so to get to the hospital to get your cut stitched up by a doctor! and your friend can fix your flat.
If the sprockets are on the opposite side of the chain, you’ve got it wrong.
Seriously, for the front wheel, it usually doesn’t matter unless you’ve got a profile with a fishbone-like pattern (diagonal grooves, e.g. >>>). If so, mount your tire so that, on the bottom of the wheel, the inner ends of the grooves are further front than the outer ends. The grooves move water out from under the tire to the sides when riding. If you mount them the other way, you get a water cushion under the tire.
…those subtract 1-2 mph of your average speed though.
I made a tutorial to make that process a bit easier. Hope it helps!
