Our Inception:
We downsized from a three bedroom house in November 2017 to a 2000 Fleetwood Southwind Class A. We dubbed her Southwind Sally. We did some minor renovations with paint and adding new window treatments. In December 2018 we purchased our fifth wheel. It is a 2014 Forest River Columbus 320 RS by Palomino. In February 2020 we hit the road before the COVID-19 Pandemic lockdowns started.
Those lockdowns forced us to hold up at the Tinker, AFB FamCamp in Oklahoma until May. We hit the road again traveling to Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana (where we had floor work done on the Columbus), Ohio and Michigan. We decided we were going to try and make it to Colorado to see the sights, and made our way there. This is when we decided to create our channel.
We have been watching our favorite UA-cam channels for years and decided maybe we should start to capture our own adventures. That decision produced our channel Compass Roadz and our first video.

I had a puncture in my rear tyre but instead of taking the whole rear assembly out I just ran a spoon around one side the tyre, then I pulled out the tube inflated and found the leak, repaired this, checked the inside of the tyre for nails etc, replaced the tube refitted the tyre, bingo all done in 15 mins
I'm a 70 year old new XP 3.0 owner... I'll never grow up. Excellent "real time" video presentation. Great info and enjoyed your presentation style, Thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise... very helpful! My best.
For a simple flat that you can see what gave it to you. All you need to do use the tire irons to take the tire off the bead on one side and pull that part of the tube out and fix it. Then just push it back in and fill it up. I ride sweep on a lot of group rides and have done to many time to remember. 99.9% of the time there is no need to remove the tire to fix a flat.
Great demonstration! Thank you for the step by step
Compass Roadz This is my first video of yours and I give you a lot of credit for starting out admitting that this was your first, flat tire repair. I appreciate that! For the so call Master Mechanics who left negative comments, I can’t believe if they were so smart, then why watched your video at all! Since they did, they must have needed some kind of help. I’m going to subscribe, because I like honest people who want to help others! And I thank the people who gave you suggestions and offered some good advice! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. I had 2 flat tyres in last 10 day front and rear. I couldn't figure out how to remove rear wheel. Now I am going to put truckers cargo straps between tube and tyre that I saw from other UA-camr. It looks like adding extra super durable layer under the tyre. I hope this work for my bike
I like the rear tire flat information what I did not notice is you check the inner tube for leaks really well but before you put the inner tube inside the tire I was told you should reach inside the the tire and run your hand around there to make sure there's no little pieces of metal or needle pieces still in the tire you didn't see from the outside. Nice job I enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the video! Very easy to follow your step-by-step instructions.
Thank you for taking the mystery out of changing the back tire. I really appreciate your help!!!
Thank you so much for recording this.
Very informative! I'm glad I watched it.
I'm glad you made the video and didn't try to edit any of your mistakes because we all have a first time at everything yes we could criticize you but it was very informational. Thanks
Appreciate your UA-cam info video. Excellent and informative and easy to follow. My father was a machinist for U P railroad for 30 years and he taught me a valuable lesson about adjustable wrenches. Always pull on the solid jaw of the wrench, not the adjusting jaw. The adjusting jaw might slip and you can strip the nut. Just something that might help everyone. But, I love your video. Thanks
Great video. I added Mr Tuffy armor liners inside the tire before putting the tube back in to hopefully prevent further punctures.
As a 68 yr old woman
Thank you so much for this video! This is exactly what I'm going to have to do in the next few days on my bike ^_^ very thankful for the step by step video with the slime installation 🥰 thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
We have 2 e-bikes and had been riding them for the last 7 years. Flat Out tire sealant has worked 100% better for us than Slime. I used Slime for a few years and still got leaks. Never ever had a lead with Flat Out sealant. Nice work on changed the rear tire. It's a real pain to pull the wheel off the rear. I just deflate, pull the tube out, fix or replace and back in business in under 20 minutes. Great video.
thank you for the video sir!
When I have to fix a flat, I'm going to insert Mr.Tuffy tire liner to protect against the myriad thorns prevalent here in the AZ desert. Thanks for this video. It's been nearly 50 years since I fixed a tire and I was (and still am) nervous about getting that back tire out. Or even turning the bike over. I'm 81 and not the strongest chick on the block. I am surprised that the liquid slime didn't patch up that tiny hole or maybe you didn't have it in your tire previously. Now Lectric is shipping out the bikes with slime already inserted.
Thanks for the vid! Looks like 'Flat-out' is even better than Slime.
