Five-minute trials tire rotation, with hand tools. Full recording.

#mototrials #trials
I'm and old man with arthritis, but here I show how one can remove and replace a trials tire in just over five minutes using hand tools

Get a small bottle of dish soap, watered down about 1/2, and wet down bead before removal/ installation.. will help a good deal.. also, to "break" the bead free try stepping on the tire near rim/ use a mallet, or block of wood(at tire/ rim junction) and a lever (against truck tire?) to get tire loose from rim.. finally, get some longer levers for home use, those shorties are OK for trail use, but why work harder then necessary if you are at home? Finally, put the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket to work, on a little less struggle/ pain then doing it on the ground ;)

Good recommendations, thanks for sharing.

Seems easy. Good job. The tire is directional?

[@twowheelgeriatric]

No this tire is not directional, I double checked.

[@ptbreak00]

Mine is Michelin X11 which has a direction arrow on it. @@twowheelgeriatric

[@twowheelgeriatric]

@@ptbreak00 Correct as does mine on the Gas Gas. The Dunlop does not have the directional arrow.
