Tire change! Here is the tutorial..
-
@njcustom well I know who not to go offroading with..lol
-
@Count only the left one comes out for a tire change..
-
@njcustom = Tire changing god.
-
@MichaelW hahahahaa
-
+1 for changing the tire by hand.
njc needs to change his name to Hercules. ;)
-
I'm not that mechanical so I just hire this gal to do the job. Its a bit more money but worth every penny ;)
-
Great tutorial, Thank you.
-
@JamesGilbert thanks, glad to help!
-
Nj: could you post a link to what tire works on our Onewheels? Ive tried googling that specific numbers from the tire, and I cant find anything matching it. Even on Vegas homepage, I cant seem to match anything. Then again, I know NOTHING about tires... :D
-
-
Thank you!
-
Hey njcustom,
Did you just use the tire spoons to break the tire bead? What did you use to seal the bead after you re-install the new tire? If you can, could you post up a video on how you did this. Thanks and great work!
-
@c2pid I used 2 spoons. You don't really need sealant.. slime is really a sealant though .. even if you don't use slime you should not really need it.. the tire is sticky enough to hold the seal.. I use wd40 to slide the new tire on.. get the bead of the tire real wet and it will help alot.. sorry I never made a video..
-
@njcustom have you (or anyone else reading this) had any wheel balance issues?
-
@Roy it's not fast enough to notice any balance issues.. I do alot of tire changes on motorcycles and sometimes they don't need it either.. tires now a days are made very well and truly balanced
-
Thanks NJ, I'm getting what feels like tire imbalance to me but I'm only a couple days into this and I'm thinking it could be a rider induced wobble.
Great tutorial!

@njcustom they should have a certification and make you the east coast tech. I would rather send my board to someone on the east coast rather than ship to cali.
-
@Roy your probably just learning to ride it. More time on the board I'm sure it will go away.
practice on grass and off road, when you switch back to road it will be much easier.
-
@Roy - I had one side of the tire that wasn't true on my 2nd board - and I'd get horrible wobble at high speeds. FM was awesome - I sent in a video of it and they quickly replaced it.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a few days before I call OW.
