Super fast tire change

Heh, I didn't know plastic tire levers were considered "fancy". A lever of some sort is definitely a necessity depending on the rim, tire, and bead.

The only "fancy" part I saw in there was the c02 dispenser he used to pump his tire up. A tire change would take me 3x longer just for pumping :D
 
Compared to the tires I've been using they are brutal with extra wide Large Marge rims. Had to buy reel steel tire levers.. I could do one of them skinny tires just by hand pretty sure. With the cheap plastic tire lever tool no problem..:)


If it is a brand new tire it will be a little more work. When those road tires break in a little and stretch out. A fellow could get lots of practice in and patch his tubes all day long.

Try that with 700x23 or 700x25 tires. Not happening, you're more liable to tweak the rim than you are to remove the tire laff

Of course, those are really skinny road bike tires, just like in the video. I've put many a mile on road bike myself, tire levers are a must-have.
