    Good video. I agree with everything you did. In the shop with a warm tire on a stand it's pretty easy. In the field changing a tube on the ground is another story. Scratches happen. Riding tight rocky trails scratches my rims so I really don't care any more. Let's call it riding patina on the wheels.
    Next video maybe with a 150/70-18 or so, 4 ply ADV tire changed out side when it's 60 degrees. Or just a field tube change.

    I’ve changed lots of tires and use plastic rim protectors for my black rims. Some tires are pliable and others are very stiff making removal and installation a hard to do without scratching if I don’t use the protectors. I used some non-scratch polymer spoons for a while until I snapped them in half on a stiff tire. Good video. It’s obvious you’ve spooned on and off lots of tires.

    • @bodeine454
      @bodeine454 Рік тому

      Instead of making the whole spoon polymer maybe they should just make a polymer cover to cover the spoon or even make the spoons to where they can accept polymer inserts that can be replaced when needed, just on the face of the spoon that contacts the rim?

  • @zthang

    3:07 skinned the paint off, It happened when you "walk it like this" at 3:03 No way to avoid skinning rims using spoons and prying on the rim. I prefer a machine that way you don't touch the rim when prying. I know people want to change their own but if you're picky take to a shop with a pneumatic machine.

    I’m being picky but-Jay and camera guy both just glossed over (3:08) the mar they put on the rim from walking the bead lock. Bonus tip for guys changing tires: lube the inside lip of where you’ll be ending. It allows the tire to slide down your tool much easier. Also…Where you stand, mount=work on your side of tire. Dismount= reach over the center, working on far side of tire. This is something Jay does but hasn’t mentioned.

    Have you got a bib mousse video ? That'd be interesting
