How to replace a tire

[jcsmith]

Hi All,

I am sure that this will be elementery for the vast majority of you, but I have never replaced a bike tire before. I did a search and did not see a post about it, so I did a google search for it. The first entry was this one: http://www.wikihow.com/Replace-a-Bicycle-Tire It seems pritty good, so I figured I would post it. I figured I may not be the only person that has never doe this, so here you go.

Regards,

Jason

I'm pretty sure most guys here know how to change a tire but if you want a challenge, try and beat this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj0na70E ... re=related good to have even the simplest things explained though.

Fast is nice but.

#1: A coating of baby powder on the tube is a good idea as it will help the tube seat it's self in the tire.
#2: I like to line up the valve stem with the inflation information on the sidewall of the tire. Saves time in searching for that info 20 seconds later when you need to inflate.

Quick stick! I haven't used a tire lever on a 26" wheel since i was a kid.

Lube ,lube , lube, I usually put some kind of dishsoap mix on the beads so they air up even.and pop out on the rim correctly.
