Anyone change your own tires?

Get out your tire irons, I have four. Got two extras at the local BMW Dealer, get the good ones, not the short 12 inches ones

You can use soapy water, but I just windex - from the dollar store. Works the same.

The 200 is really tough to spoon on by hand, but it goes

I have the No-Balancer, and get weights at my local shop to have on hand.

True secret is this little guy. Bought from a H.org member.

When it's all said and done

Yup, gotta take 'em to town dump and PAY to get them recycled. But it works.

I was acctually putting new ones in. Thoes are the old ones on the bench. It really needed it. Each new cush drive was .100 wider in total adding up to over a half inch! Bike feels super tight again. Don't forget your cush drives everybody.

who changes their own tires? | General Bike Related Topics

How many of you change your own tires and what equipment do you use? pics would be helpful too. I think it's a rip off taking my bike to the shop to replace the rubber and end up paying $80 per tire which is rediculous.

I have that old style Rabaconda tire changer.
It works good on street tires too.
But, they make a new street tire machine now(old one is aimed at dirtbikes).
The new style machine looks even easier to use too.

I gotta get one of these machines. With 5 bikes now it only makes $$$ sense.

Uncle Steve and I used to change our tires all the time, changing to sticky track tires and back to street tires. Its not that hard if you can get a couple of guys working together.
