Video transcript:
The first thing you need to make sure of is to have your tire changer set up according to your wheel size because this will allow the unique bead breaker system to function as it's meant to. I'm using an 18-inch tire for the demo and I already have it here set up at the 18-inch marker.
Okay, let's get to the business. When changing a rear tire, it's always better to keep the disc side facing up because this will give you more room to operate the tire irons.
There's less chance of busting your knuckles or getting hurt. Start with releasing the rim lock. Release it almost to the very end of the rim lock bolt.
To start with the dismounting, position the rim lock straight across from the bead breaker system. Grab a tire iron and use the straight end for dismounting. The straight end is easier to insert. It is stronger. And later, it is easier to get them out between the tire and the rim.
Grab the rim handle. Position the bead breaker as close to the rim as possible. Sometimes the mousse can be really hard and it’s so difficult to get the tire irons between there. The key here us to put your body weight as close to the end of the green lever as you can, simultaneously pushing the tire iron. It's best done with one quick and strong movement... like that.
Make sure the tire iron is right next to the bead breaker because there you would have the most space to insert it. Grab another one. Leave about a 4-inch or 10-cm distance between the tire irons. Repeat the process.
And the 4th one… 4 tire irons are mostly enough when changing a mousse insert. Make sure you have the bead breaker close to the rim.
Now, before you start flipping them, it’s always good to test if they’re nicely in there. If you pull and they don't slide out, then it's all good.
With really hard mousse, there's also one trick to get the tire irons flipped easier. You need to brake the bead from the opposite side. This will allow the tire to come over the rim more easily. So, have some pressure there. Grab one in the middle first If and the other one in the middle. If you grab the ones in the middle first, then those two here won’t slide out. If you start with the one on the side, the other ones might slide out easily. Now you can see the straight ends come out easily between the tire.
Now that you have about a quarter of the tire dismounted, it's time to flip around the tire. Flip around the wheel… the sector which is just dismounted, position it under the bead breaker. Grab the handle again and start pushing the tire off.
First, push off the lower bead and the mousse so it's completely outside of the rim. Once it’s outside, again, start straight across from the rim lock and start pushing the tire completely off. Put some pressure here.
Here I have a really slippery tire so what you can do here is stick one tire iron here and push it off. Once you have it standing on top of the rim lock, now it's not possible to push it over like that because you're pushing straight on top of the rim lock. The guiding system should be brought here so you can simply slide it over the rim lock.
Now it’s actually possible to mount a new tire without taking the old one off. But I'm mounting the same tire here for the demo purpose. When mounting a tire with a mousse insert, make sure you have it prepared well.
