Great idea!
I use three tire levers and bar soap to change tubes/tires. Depending on the tire, sometimes I use a nylon strap (around spokes and lever)to hold one tire lever in the bead to free up my hands. Also I find it key to inflate the tube a little bit so it doesn't get pinched. Practice with your old tires cuz it took a few to be able to do it without pinch flats and rim scratches.

If you plan to change your tires at home I would definitely recommend watching more demonstrations and checking out some of the tools and equipment you can add to make the task easier and safer (namely if you want to protect the rim from scratches and save time on balancing). Remember this is a minimalist demo to show what to do in a pinch. Most of all be careful and don't tweak your back.

Awesome! Never thought I could mount a new tire, but your videos made it possible - I'll never pay to have it done, again.
Great job! Thanks!

Just performed this technique. However, I used a 2" x 4", but cut on the same angle; worked great. Note the technique in video II (removing the tire from the rim) that while he uses 3 spoons, he cleverly removes the center spoon, then walks the opening one way or the other. Nice work my friend. Thanks again for posting these videos. Tim

Hope I never have to do this, but you never know

Thanks. I hope nobody gets a bloody knuckle doing this! Hopefully people will be patient and practice it a few times before they really need to do it this way.
