I don't how hard it was for any of the youtubers that did this conversion to get any appropriate valve stems but, here, in my part of the world, those 8mm all steel valve stems are just not all that easy to get. QUICK AND EASY - Designed to simplify the tire installation process, the Baja No Pinch tire tool ensures quick and easy tire changes for all riders. Our dirt bike tire changing tools are designed to make the task of changing tires easy and convenient.

I always have a plethora of tubes as it seems every time I manage to pinch one or two and it usually ends with lots of cussing and throwing stuff. In any case, it will be a Mission and I am optimistic that many other riders have done it many times themselves.If you are doing the tyre change for the first time then give yourself a day or two and try this before mounting the new tyre.

But I personally found this tool to be quite useful to use on tires with stiffer sidewalls, and black rims that I'm worried about scratching with normal tire irons. The powerful rack and pinion system pushes the tire over the rim, eliminating the chance of a pinched inner tube during installation. When he’s not in the Vital MX forum or writing his latest product review, you can find him out at the track taking dirt naps, snapping some pictures, or drooling over the latest parts for his bike. Usually when I mount a tire with tire irons, I can hold one iron on the opposite side of the tire that I'm mounting.One, if you look UNDER that tire and wheel he's working on, you'll see some sort of STAND that the wheel may, or may not be securely fastened to or at least has some sort of ability to hold the wheel steady while you're torquing on it, trying to mount a tire. The tube that goes in the axle hole is a good bit longer than needed for my tires, and it has to hang down below the wheel to sit the leverage point in the right spot. I always was pretty good at tire changing and at places like Reddick where it was moist in the morning and blue groove in the second motos it was such a huge advantage to change tires between motos.

Of course, all of this led to one thing: Lindsay loves working on his bikes almost as much as he loves talking about them.I think we can all agree that showing up to the track with a pinched tube after you changed the tire is very frustrating.
