Lately a lot of people have been curious about changing tires and balancing the assembly.
I found this website that explains the process in detail and how to do it at home cheaply.

Along the way I found this site that provides info on some very useful,and sometimes homemade,tools.

I am sorry if these sites are repost.I have never seen them posted any where.
Enjoy!
:cheers:
excellent links man. nice of ya to share them :thumb:
I try to be helpful,luckily this time I may have helped. :laugh:
I found and posted that first link a few weeks ago when I was looking for info on changing my own tyre (which I managed to do, but boy it was harder than I thought it would be)
But its a good link and well worth posting again. :thumb:
Read this thread for more info, tips, advice and a few good links to YouTube videos showing the process.

Sorry,I must have missed your thread. :cry:
The front tire is narrower and stiffer,so it's harder to change.When I was doing mc tires, we had a high end machine powered by compressed air.Our balancer was an electronic one kinda like automotive ones. :icon_rolleyes:
While we're discussing tire changes.Anyone know where to get tire weights that clamp on the center ridge of the wheel. :dunno_white:
