- Eddie shares how he changes a tubeless mountain bike tire. The Vee Bulldozer tire was leaking sealant from the sidewalls and not keeping air. Also, it developed a few bulges. Eddie replaces it with a Maxxis Minion DHF.

About Silent Shop: No talk - just maintenance. This video is for you if; 1.You’d like to learn a new skill in a short time, 2. You already know how, but would like to watch how someone else does it (and maybe learn something new or teach us something new), or 3. You just like the zen of bicycle maintenance.
I don't usually comment but sir, please keep this style of video up. Absolutely appreciate it!
More to come! -Eddie
This format is great, you really got heaps of information across without a single word and in record time. That being said, the longer format is great as well (e.g. the lubricant comparison)!
Thank you - we intend to do more of both! -Eddie
Thank you! This is great and pure content. No B.S.
I appreciate that! -Eddie
I found that the fastest and safest way of popping off the bead is to lay the tire on the ground and slowly and gently stepping on the tire near near the rim. Also, the tire tool that looks like scissors works great in putting on a tight tire. On both occasions I've deformed tires using tire levers :)
Thanks for sharing -Eddie
So good! Thank you many times!
Glad you enjoyed it! -Eddie
I wish it was that fast and easy when I changed the SE5 off the front of My 2021 Trek Slash . 2 honest hours to get the bead to break free !
I have had that same experience with a set of WTB Rangers. I had to slowly, carefully, cut mm by mm into the kevlar band with a razor to release the tire. It was frustrating! -Eddie
Another great video! I look forward to more
More to come! -Eddie
Solid. While its not a big deal, I'm just a wee bit more careful when laying down the wheel on the disc side to avoid any potential warping or bending. Probably won't be an issue, but I'm just over cautious. Like the channel.
Yes - I use a bean-bag to keep from warping the disk. I'm more worried about contamination from the cassette (that's why the paper towel). I saw that the cassette left no residue on the paper towel, so I dispensed with it after that. -Eddie
Yeah I was definitely triggered at 1:30 when smacking it down on the rotor. Should also highlight lining up the logo with the valve stem
Best one yet, and only three minutes!
Thank you! -Eddie
thanks!
You bet! -Eddie
subbed just for the bean bag wheel bench
Hahaha - love it! -Eddie
Adds cush core on DD casing, "The 3 hour tire swap" 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha - you aren't kidding! -Eddie
Hi great video :) I was just wondering why you greased the valve core I've never heard of people doing that before, is it to stop sealant from sticking to it and clogging it?
That is correct! I only figured this out a few tire changes ago - but haven't had trouble with sealant clogging the valve stem/seals since! -Eddie
Nice video. Two questions: 1) why do you bounce the wheel/tire after mounting and 2) why do you have those 5 minute periods of letting the wheel/tire sitting?
Thanks!!
The shock forces from bouncing a tire at max psi helps ensure the bead gets fully seated. Laying the tire on its side after spinning it helps ensure sealant has time to seep fully into the bead, coat it, and harden where it contacts oxygen from any small leaks.
Hope this helps! -Eddie
nice size of wheel 🤙
Sure is! -Eddie
Thanks for the informative video, I am completely new to tubeless tyres so can I ask how much sealant you use…? cheers
Hi, you are welcome! It varies per tire volume/size. I can't recall how much was used for this particular tire. Your sealant should tell you how much on the bottle. -Eddie
Grease on the bottom of the valve!! How did I never think of this?!?
I only thought of it myself a few tire changes ago! 😁 -Eddie
what's the cleaner you used to clear off old sealant? Love the videos, but when you use a cleaner or grease could you hold it to camera for a bit so we can check what you are using?
Simple Green! - Eddie
i love when they lining up tire emblem with rim eblem
Haha - I like it off-set. :) -Eddie
Does greasing the valve core prevent sealant from gunking up the valve core ?
Yes - that's right! I haven't had valve-core gum-up problems since I started greasing the valve-core seals. It keeps the sealant from hardening on the core seals. -Eddie
@@SimplyMountainBiking awesome! Thanks for the hack!👍🏻👍🏻
yeah it's never this easy to remove and install tubeless tyre. I spent hours trying to get it off the bead and more hours trying to put it back on. was hoping this video would have some kind of technique to make it easier.
I mostly use plus and fat tires. They are pretty easy, IMHO. Very flexible and a lot of material to stretch. I have had some troublesome tires - but most are pretty easy. -Eddie
What did you use on the rag to clean the old Sealant?
I use Simple Green. -Eddie
I do all that then try to inflate it and the air just comes out from the side of the tire and I use a compressor.
Sometimes you need to 'bump' the tire with high compression. Try that! -Eddie
Do you recommend doing it it’s 90% of tyre mounted or a dry fit with tire completely fitted and fluid in stem with valve removed?
I always fill with the bead broken. Others have different preferences. -Eddie
Very helpful. Any chance you can do a Fox fork and fox factory X2 diy tutorial?
I don't have Fox forks on any of my bikes - I really prefer Manitou these days. I have a fork swap video coming up soon! -Eddie
Nice
Thanks! -Eddie
I noticed you don't use an injector to inject through the valve (core removed of course). Is there a reason why?
I don't particularly like to push sealant through where I'm going to thread the valve core. Instead, I prefer to grease the valve core to keep sealant from sticking to it, and have it inserted when I fill the tire with sealant. I don't have problems with sealant gumming up my valve stem and core any more. -Eddie
What is that liquid white in colour
It's tubeless tire sealant. -Eddie
What's the name of the tool you used on the valve?
Valve core removal tool. - Eddie
Where did you manage to find an aftermarket DHF with white letting on the MAXXIS logo!
Ebay. I bought quite a few. :) -Eddie
What do you use the clean the rim? Just isopropyl alcohol?
Simple green. -Eddie
Hi! I just got my tires installed. Unfortunately the mechanic placed the wrong tires on the wrong end of the bike. He placed my Barzo at the back and Mezcal afront. Can I just swap them without cleaning the rims and just topup the sealant? Thanks
Oh no! Yes. I think you will be fine. -Eddie
@@SimplyMountainBiking Thanks
What's funny is that he's installing a Maxxis DHF (F for Front) on his rear wheel in the video. 😅
Oh no! The manufacturer says that it's a front tire so I shouldn't decide for myself what tread pattern I want where! Haha. Never look into motorcyclist darksiding. You might have a stroke! Thanks for the comment! -Eddie
Hello I'm Curious on How many ML of Sealant will I use on my 29er WHEELS XC USE Each Wheels? , Thank you in advance
I used 45ml sealant, as recommended by Orange for my tire size. Thanks! -Eddie
Thanks a lot mate , I got an important Question to you , I already commented it on your LUBE TEST VIDEO
2:10 removable valves are a thing
I've never liked filling from the valve. I grease my valve stems to keep sealant out of them. -Eddie
@@SimplyMountainBiking fair enough I commented this when I was frustrated getting my Cush core on apologies😂 but yea sealant in the stem sucks I use a long syringe and havnt had issues since
Haha - I've always wanted to try those! -Eddie
Nice but what was the unedited time 😅
I can change a tire in 5-7 minutes. The unedited time of this one was likely much longer due to camera framing! -Eddie
thanks for not loving the sound of your own voice and droning on for half an hour like most.
😁
To the point is what we all like instead of , hullo everyone I had my coffee & muffins , I like 2 sugars with my coffee then I go beat off etc etc etc 😳 sweet angel of death take me now 🤮
ROFL! -Eddie
wears earth hugger shoes and wears single use latex gloves for no reason. 🤣
Venom Steel gloves are nitrile, not latex, and are extremely durable. Definitely not single-use. I highly recommend them! -Eddie
