How you doing!

Really... you know all there is about skis and you can't change a tire on a bike cycle? LOL J/K

I changed tires on my bike when I was 8......

So have I, but never on a nice bike with high pressure tires

LOL high pressure? 10-12?

The Maxxis (Think that is what I had) on my road bike were the easiest tires I have ever put one. No wait, they were Continentals, Made to be easy for quick changes.

110 psi

it seems like the non-folding tires have a better chance of being able to change without levers. I usually get folding tires though.

Tires have wire beads???? have not had one of those since oh, 1993!!!!!!!!!

Just put it in the mtn bike section there it will get answered lol, do you even know the meaning of irony ?

 

[AtomicPunk]

yes I sure do, do you?
I find it IRONIC that YOU would answer a biking question (posted by an Mod nonetheless) when you basically criticize/mock them for having a biking section....

Unless of course you were referring to the Alabama meaning of "irony"

irony
of, resembling, relating to, or tasting much like iron
eg1: "The anvil was delicious, but irony.

I have answered many questions for Matt over the years,I will continue to do so , Matt is a great guy. I only answer questions on subjects that I know something about, I started out in the motorcycle business, over the years I have changed more tires that probably anyone else here, so yeah I know something about changing tires.

You know whats really ironic though, when you answer someones question on a website where people ask questions for help and then get called out about it by a self proclaimed punk that does nothing to help anyone here, that I find quite ironic.

If it helps my wife (Katie) changes the tires on her KTM, maybe she can give some advice to you guys.

If you find the time between answering questions you can click on my "last posts" and tell me I don't "help anyone here". But then again, I did not know that was a requirement to have an account? :Banane13:
