You think you can change a wheel under pressure?

Beat this

Stupid is as stupid does. :-)

Cool!

I can't change a tyre under pressure. I let the pressure out first.

That's how it's done on a bike

Now we need to see her do it with the front discs and calipers on it.

Pretty impressive. There is a video of a guy changing a moose in a minute! There is also one of a guy doing the rear wheel tyre change with tube in 2.26 seconds....awesome...ISDE practise this and boy they are fast...
I wonder though, for the sake of speed they can pinch the tubes?
I see also, that if you inflate the tube a little, then place your rim right into the valve and push the tube down it helps?
I used to do that to my Racing bike, just push a little air in first, then put the tyre on....

Yes less likely to pinch the tube if it is partially inflated.

Can't carry that thing on the back of the KTM though....He also has a chariot? See that? Wonder why....
A side car looks like...doesn't it?

**Taz** · 8th September 2009, 14:33

Feck me my heads spinning

Back in the day, we changed a rear wheel on an FZR1000 during the Castrol Six Hour in 18 seconds. The problem was that it took a lot longer than that to fill the gas tank...
