HOW TO remove & change an inner tube the right way: Tips from a Professional Bike Mechanic #2

Now it's time to test myself again haha. At first try, I accidentally tear and put multiple whole to my inner tube so i need to buy a new one. Now i bought some new tube, let's see what I can do😂

Hi ,Great lesson thanks, terrific .Cheers

Fantastically informative, I have made most of the mistakes highlighted in this video. Thanks!

Remarkable presentation. Thanks.

Very clear and concise. I note that there was no mention of checking the recommended "Forward" direction on Continental tyres. Is this important?

A little soapy water finds air leaks also

Pull the innertube out, leave the valve and put air in a innertube figure out where the hallways see if there’s glass still in bedded in the tire so you don’t put a new tube in and get another flat

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great video

I did have a rough fight with 650c gatorskins on H+Son rims. I broke like 5 wheel levers 🥴🥴🥴

Clear instructions that make sense. Thank you!

Dude! Thank you so much! After destroying 3 tires I decided to look up YT for help, and following your instructions it was so easy I can't believe this shit I was doing before. I almost lost my mind, thank you so much!

My inner tube on my MTB (size 29") punctures exactly at the bottom of the valve, its been 4th or 5th time. First I thought that cause was the friction with the edge of the hole where the valve goes through and the tube and I even placed a patch on a new tube over the valve, but had no effect. Any tips on what might be the actual cause of this ?

I just thought it might be the valve lock ring ripping the tube due to motion and pressure, but other than that, I'm out of ideas, perhaps to replace the grip tape (as the grip tape hole is not matching the wheel hole 100%).

Great clear video. At the end,when you talk about the line, I checked mine and I see the line more right above the valve.i.e.too raise.
I can't seem to get the line to look like the rest of the rim. Not sure if that is cause of my flats...

Oh my.,so perfectly explained!!!!! And thorough!!!!! Bravo!!!!-and thanks

I've been ripping valve stems out of the inner tubes by over tightening the lock nuts. I'm really not a fan of presta valves. Great vid

Next a video with light TPU tubes

Only been doing it wrong for 50 years then!

It don’t matter if your doing wheel barrow to tractor tyre like he says you always get the tyre into well of the rim but you always push the valve In slightly and start and finish by the valve it’s optional to put air but is a good idea

Your method works pretty good, I didn’t even need “tire levers” for the installation!👍🏻😎

Put just a tiny bit of air in the tube to help it go in the tire easier

Thanks a million, this worked great!
I even found what caused my flat, a tiny piece of metal was still embedded in the tire (that I wouldn't have checked if I hadn't watched this tutorial!)

Lovely. Thank you. Bonus in answering my valve question too!

I remove punctured tube from rim and leave the valve in situ, then reinflate the tube locate the puncture and examine corresponding area on the tyre

Brilliant, love this video. Hopefully when I need to change a tube next time, it will in practice be as simple as it is here. Thank you & new subscriber!

I somehow often end up twisting the tube in the tyre when refitting the tube and only realise when I get the egg in the tyre after inflating!

Thank you! Thanks to you it took me 5 min to change my tube! So awesome. I was dreading it because I wrestled with the one I tried doing a couple of years ago. Squeezing the tire is definitely the secret.

I slid my hand inside a tire once only once. About the time I sliced my finger open on broken glass I realized I was stupid. I should have done like he suggest

what's a shard of flint? a rock?

Took a course recently and the teacher said to start at the valve when you put back on the tire.

That way, you have less of a chance to accidentally bent it when putting the tire back on.

Also you don't need a tool for the next step:

When it starts to get hard, pull the slack from the top to the bottom. The key is not to let go of the tire to keep the slack in your hands and bring it to where the tire in not on the rim.

Then you just push with your palm (not fingers!) and the tire is on the rim 😎

Can a 18" inner tube fit a 20"x4.0 wheel if you put a pool noodle in the tire. What other size inner tubes can fit a 20"x4.0 bike wheel or fat tire wheel ?

y u did not put a new rim tape?

50 years of fixing flats and I still learn something new from this video. Really thorough presentation.

Bikes durable and a fast glider

Nice video appreciate the tip on nozzle caps

I have changed a number of tubes.
How come very often my valve is not straight (points to the left or right) after inflating the new tube, no mater how careful I am? Do you have any guess what might cause that?

I tried patching a puncture today, thought I had it patched up got the tube and tire back on only to find it wasn't pumping up. Started again this time replaced it with a new inner tube, put it all together and back on, same thing again wouldn't pump. Long story short tomorrow I'm going to a bike repair shop to have it sorted ffs 😆

bruh i took out my first tube with a screwdriver and a crochet hook and it sorta worked

This is a great video!

Absolutely fuckin brilliant mate. Nice one.

Thanks!

Anther little tip is when your about to put the inner tube back on first inflate it a bit then using talc coat the tube "all of it" , just run the tube through your hands with the talc , this way any sticky glue bits are dried out and will avoid pinching .. also for detecting holes use a bowl of water , its far easier to see bubbles than feel for them ...

Great lesson David, how do you deal with a tire that is stuck to the rim? Any tricks that you want share with us?

This is one of the best videos on how to change a tyre. It’s so clear, lots of good tips and has made a big difference!!!

Absolutely brilliant video. Very clear and addressed all the issues I'd recently had with a tight tyre. The only omission is rim tape. My m

Mysterious punctures with new tyre and tube turned out to be because the bike builders had just used gaffer tape instead of proper rim tape around the spokes. The gaffer tape had frayed and kept allowing a spoke through over a bump. So worth including rim tape in The Cause of Puncture section. Otherwise 11/10!

Fantastic video! Thanks! One question: Do you pump up your tires to max psi? Or do you go lower than that generally? Thanks for the information

Thanks for the video, I have been struggling to bead a new tyre on my mountain bike, lubed it deflating and reinflating still no joy, any advice will be welcome, many thanks
