Title: Proper way to remove tubed dirtbike tire?
Post by: VTNewb on June 18, 2007, 09:44:30 AM
My girlfriend got that XT225 I raved about. We just got in her new aggressive offroad tires. Anyone know the proper way to remove the tire? It's tubed.

OH OK I didn't know if they still used them or Not.Most of the Rim Manufacturers Cut "Teeth" in the Rim Lip to Help Hold the Tire.I figured they had Phased out Rim Locks by Now.The Locks on my old CZ were Made out of Leather. :laugh: :laugh:
