Changed Tires!
« on: February 01, 2013, 01:40:52 PM »
Hi guys,

I changed the tires on my Agility 125 last night. It went pretty well. The only real sticking point was breaking the beads. I ended up resting a 6-foot piece of 2x6 against the bead and driving my car up up onto the board. I can't wait to try out my new Michelin City Grips.

That is one way to break a bead. I use c-clamps.

Here's how we do it here...

1. Go to a motorcycle tire shop
2. Select a tire or two
3. Have them installed for FREE
4. Pay

No, I didn't. Sorry. If you have changed a motorcycle tire it's exactly the same.  You need to remove the exhaust to get the rear wheel off, but that's pretty easy.

I'm loving the City Grips, btw.
