speedytriple Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I lost the local guys number who does them around here. So I busted out the tire iron and proceeded to bust my knuckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 UH first time trying to use just spoons? and the spoons are way to small. AND I FUCKING FAIL LOL!!Yeah invest in some good long sturdy spoons, I have an HB tire unit that I use to break the bead. Doubt I will dick with my WR tires, I will just call Hoblick to do it. Too bad he isn't closer to you, he is the Mackdaddy for tire changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah my irons are like maybe 7-8 inches long. Like I said I have one local to me but lost him number. and Pauly is out of town right now i think. I will get it off only have one half of the tire to get off the rear rim then put the new one back on. I just ran out of light and energy today.

speedytriple Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well I got the bastard tires on and scrubbed in. Not bad but they lean in way faster then the knobbies, and were a little slick until I got the film worn off some. Hit some dirt in the park and they do not have near the grip of the knobbies I took off. They might feel better when broke in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
