Default Changing a dirt bike tire.

I've seen may vids on changing tires, this is the proper way. I think the biggest time saver is when your pulling the tire off. Go outside,outside. Once you get one side off, flip the tire over and pull the outside off again then the tire can be pushed right off the rim. SIMPLE

I seen that video on transworld way back, I think maybe 2 years ago right when i got back from the washougal national. Good video though!

I agree with everything in the video, doing it that method makes changing out tires so much easier.

Started using the outside/outside method a few years back. Much easier on the rims. Thanks for the vid Freak!

That looks nowhere near as fun as watching me wrestle both tires off of my bike in a 48* garage after a couple of adult beverages! Oh, and don't forget the part where I go to fill the tire and hear that dreaded sound...psssssssss! Thanks for the video, Freak.

Another thanks for posting this. I used this method to replace my front and rear tires recently..both Maxxis IT's. The rear was still a bit of a bear (those tires are STIFF), but the front was down right easy. Only took about 10 minutes to remove and clean, then 10 to install new rim lock, tube, and tire.
