Changed Tires!

[Jim Moore]

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

Did you take any pics. I need to do this in a week or two.

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.

Michelin makes damn good tires. I just put an oversized Avon Styker on the front of the peop.
