How Do I Change My Back Tyre

[wibbster]

this seems stupid but honeslt have no clue how to do this, i have an elstar 125cc Blade and my back tyre went out, i had no problem taking it out im just trying to figure out how to take the tyre off the rim, i tried using screwdrivers but wont work.

Thx

Umm, first take your wheel off. No idea if you know how to do that, but there is like two nuts on eahc side of your wheel holding it in. get a spanner and hold one side of it, and get a rachet and unscrew it then pull it out, There are two bushes on each side of the wheel. REMEMBER in which order they go.

Next once you have done that, I have like a pry[wrong spelling] bar which I stick under the edges of the rim to pop out the outside plastic?[the bit with the knobbies] keep doing this around in a circle until it has all popped out. Grab ur tube out and fill it up with air, stick the tube in a bucket of water and check where their are any holes. You may choose to get a new tube or get a tube repair kit [pretty self explainatory].

Then pop it all back in [should be easier this time].

I hope this helped,
Its only how i do it and i dont know if i worded it properly!

Use tyre levers or take it to shop is the short answer.

Take it to a shop if you dont know how to do it. I have been doing pushbike tyres for 30 years and wheelchair ones for 3 years and they are a piece of piss compared to 12" motorbike tyres. If you have ripped the valve out get the shop to put a rim lock in at the same time.

Even the shop said they hated changing the 10" tyres and they're gonna stop taking them!

Yeah the shops cant stand it. I changed both 10" tyres on me 110 a while ago and It was a bit of a pain a good tip is a bit of soap around the bead when putting the tire back on the rim then give it a wash with water when on to prevent slippage. I had to replace a tube on a 12" today and it was way too hard for me to get the bead ot come off. Even the tyre shop had trouble getting it off the rim. I thought the 12" would be easier must depend on the tyre.

mines 12" and i can take it of and replace the tube and have it bake on the bike in under 15min
