It's best to pop the captive bead back over the rim's bead opposite the valve stem hole. It's the valve steam that's the toughest to fish through on a front 21x1.85" rim.
MOTION PRO TOOLS INSTALL
The most difficult tire to install is the front D908RR. I can do it at home in 10 minutes in perfect conditions.ĭual rim locks are used on Rear Trials tires most often, and not on MX/Enduro/DS wheels sets. Balancing can take 15 minutes to do both wheel on a dirtbike.Ī flat repaired trail side in muddy conditions can be serviced in 15 minuted preforming a tube swap. So yes, I can perform a complete tire install in under 2-hours using only hand tools w/o soap and water.
If your wheel looks filthy inside, somethings wrong with your wheel or installation.īack to the time to R&R the wheel.I only did the rear wheel, and if you were to read the 1st paragraph in post#1 and review the pictures before jumping to conclusions you would be a better judge of time and effort I install clean components to start with and nothing has gotten in in between tire changes. My wheel was not cleaned at all after removal from the bike. This allows the tires to nearly pop-off the rims if temperatures are fairly warm with very little issue. My tires have a film of DC5 (a DOW product which is dielectric grease) applied to the tire beads as well as the rim's beads. Changing complete tires out is no different. I have a pretty good system down changing flats.
