I was having so much trouble with my Schwalbe Ones that I was literally wondering whether I could continue cycling.....this video saved me. First attempt: one hour, broken tire lever, near brain aneurism. After seeing this: about 3 minutes! Thanks!!
I could not get my tires on and struggled even with tire levers.. after watching your video and trying again I got both tires on with no issues and with my bare hands!! Thanks so much you are a legend!! 🚴🚴👍🏻👍🏻
nice tips, sounded like my father, retired bikemechanic with iron thumbs, though. The slighly pumped innertube is crusial, but I often let the air out before the last push with thumbs, especially with troublesome tyre/rim combo.
Can you make the same video again using Continental Gatorskins , make sure theres a paramedic with sutures ready to stitch you up after , never mind thumbs they straightened metal levers like Uri Gella
@@toomuch9762 short answer yes, but worth it because you won't have to take them off very often, also little tip get them slightly warm just above room temp same airing cupboard before fitting , cold are difficult, you'll still need levers but only for the last bit .
@@JWFitnessHealth cheers bud good to know. Was looking at them yesterday online and when i saw your comment i said id hold off and see. Cheers for the tip 👍
What if you can't get the air out of the itube ? It's flat but a bit of stubborn air in there and the tire is tight as a drum w/no budge to get it off the rim. What is a good technique that would loosen it up, besides a ⛓️ saw ?
Over the past 20 years I've usually only used my hands without levers for tyre removal with MTB tyres, generally Pythons. Some tyres are easier than others though! 26" Conti Double Fighters were a real challenge, but the 700C and 650B Schwalbe G-Ones I used recently just about fell on and off, but as tubeless they still managed to stay on the rim when riding.

camagnlo WTO and a Continental GP5000 clincher. If you can get that on with levers you deserve a medal, without levers a peerage
I was doing that wrong for the last 30 years :)))
Thank you! Awesome video!

Wow even with tire lever I struggled like a loooot, this is so easy it feels like cheating!
Thanks a lot!
Brilliant, great to show the tougher road bike tyre during my flat without levers. This video worked. Thanks.
Thank you very much - you helped me fit my first replacement inner tube!
Thanks man. Been a big help for me this video.
This is so simple but works so well. You have the best bike videos ever. Thanks a bunch

Excellent video instruction! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, just subbed
Thank you! Saved me from going to bike shop
Great video have to try it at home first
Could you make a video like this for tubeless ?
Thank you so much 😊

Was thinking of getting gator skins! Are they really that difficult??

road bike tyre is an easier one to demo. good video interesting thank you
Thank you, dear friend
good tips thanks
Now do this with a brand new GP5000.

Tyre won't come off, and now my fingers hurt

My tire is too tight for that
That looks like a really soft flexible rubber. Mine is much thicker. I can't pinch mine.
If only this easy
Some tires are too stiff to remove or refit using fingers only
Great video, however, there is a difference between wired tires and foldable tires. Also, mountain bike and fat tires and more difficult to work with.
Excellent video although you might have mentioned tyre direction too. (shame about the shitty music though, is it a legal requirement these days?)
This is really bullshit. You can't do this with An Old racebike
Here is how I fit a tight tyre ua-cam.com/video/GhEbLpu8yYs/v-deo.html
Joke: that tyre was like an inner tube.
So ein Unsinn! Nimm einen neuen Reifen her dann wirds Lustig!
