And a lot of tires have treads on them, so you want to make sure that the tread is going the correct way. Basically if you see, you have gears in the back, basically what would have to happen is the tread would have to go with the wheel so you could see it would go this way.
And a lot of the time what we like to do is we like to put the actual label right where the valve is. So if you do have a flat and you pump up your tube, you can see exactly where the hole would be. It makes it a lot easier for fixing flats. So you just put the one side on and then you're gonna get your tube and make sure that you pump up the tube slightly just so it becomes round so it's easier to put inside the tire and also so you don't pinch it when you're putting on the other side. And you start with the valve here, put the valve in, pull the tire over the tube, and start pushing the tube inside the tire and the rim. So once you get it inside the tire and the rim, what you're gonna do is you're going to push the other side of the tire, the sidewall of the tire, on the actual rim.
So you're going to start at the valve, you're going to start opposite where you took if off and basically use the back of your hand to push the tire on, making sure that you're not pinching the tube. So you want to make sure that the tube isn't hanging out here 'cause it'll actually pinch, it's like a pinch flat, and then you'll have to replace the tube. So you kind of just want to go all the way around holding the tire. Sometimes it gets a little difficult like right at the end here, so you can take a tire lever, make sure that you're not pinching the tube, use it backwards. So instead of using it this way like taking off the tire, you turn it upside down and you just hook the tire up on to the rim. Once the tire is on the rim, you want to make sure that you start inflating it. Well, before you do that make sure that the tire is seated properly, so basically what that means is there's a seam that runs around most tires that should be even all the way around on both sides. If it's not then it can cause a blowout which is never good. So as you pump up the tire make sure you keep on looking at the seam to make sure that it's seating properly and make sure that you're keeping an eye on your gauge to see what pressure it's at. Every tire is a little different. It will actually say on the sidewall of the tire.
This tire says 'Maximum inflation pressure - 65psi', so I wanna make that I do somewhere around 65 psi. So once you get up the pressure make sure that you remember to tighten down that screw if it's a Presta valve. If it's a Schrader valve make sure to put the cap on it because it prevents dirt from getting into the valve. And that's how to replace a tire.


Tubeless tyres are a bit like Marmite - you either love them or you hate them. Alex is a big fan of tubeless, and wants to help change it's reputation of being a messy, complicated system! In this video, Alex shows you how to easily set up your tubeless road tyres!

If you're wondering how to mount and balance tires at home, I'll be showing the process on 20" alloy wheels and fairly low profile tires (no wheel scratching allowed). I'll be using the ever popular manual tire changer with a duck head modification attachment and the infamous bubble balancer.
This is part 3 in my manual tire changing series. Part 1 covers the basics of one of these manual tire changers and installing one:
https://youtu.be/06Jr9t1CnNQ
Part 2 covers dismounting the tire along with an overview of what a duck head modification is and how it works to safely dismount tires from alloy wheels:
https://youtu.be/wXsloeT0QhE
Part 4 is fixing careless tire shop wheel damage which is a big reason I wanted to start doing my own tire service work in the first place:
https://youtu.be/hn0XbHgvnFY
Part 5 Covers Easy Valve Stem Replacement:

Part 7 - ATV Wheel Hiccup:
https://youtu.be/Zi1GYh5cEdA?si=qtPFzQtW3nS7iVvj
Most people don't get into DIY mounting & balancing of their own tires to save money. If that's your understanding, you're missing the point. It's all about the convivence of doing a tire service any time you want and being totally self sufficient and self reliant. You know, all the things that most DIY'ers crave; while doing a better job / paying attention to details, saving time, forgoing unnecessary tire shop upsells / bait & switch tactics, long wait times and of course the all too common wheel damage like shown in the part 4 video.
Item's used in this manual tire changer series:
- Manual Tire Changer (DOESN'T INCLUDE DUCK-HEAD MODIFICATION)
https://amzn.to/3U3Ao7A
Note, these manual tire changers have little to do with maximum working wheel size - that's a function of the duckhead mod radius arm length (most will do up to 24").

For those who want to get really ambitious and try their luck/skill at modifying the bubble balancer using the same method I did (half glass sphere & glass plate), here are a couple links for both items. 30mm Dia for both should work but be sure to check the size of hole up in your balancing head to make sure it's not smaller than that (sizes can vary I've been told).

This video shows how to break the tire bead, remove and install the tire and then seat the bead.
NOTE: I forgot to show removing the wheel weight as this wheel did not have any on it. Make sure you check for weights so you don't damage the rim.
If you have an alloy rim, be sure to watch my next video on how to clamp a wheel from the outside edge of the rim so you don't scratch or damage it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Svnr_qOfA
