    An actual motorcycle related thread.

    I changed my first tire today.

    Frickin bitch it was but I got the tire off the rim and the new one back on with nary a new scratch to the rim. Using 2 CRAPPY spoons that I have. I REALLY need to get a better set if I am ever doing that again!
















    Oh BTW it was a 10 incher on a Pitbike but hey, it is a start!

    Pitbike tire changes SUCK. My only advice, if mounting street tires on a mini wheel, use lots and lots and lots of lube on the bead. 10" tires are about the worst for getting even bead seat.

    You never asked. If you want, I can happily just start pontificating about pitbikes the next time I see you... are you free for 2009? All of it?

    Didn't take long to get over to lube. I'm starting to sense a trend on this forum.
