February 21, 200620 yr I'm new to this trials thing and the Gas Gas needs a new rear tire. I've got pretty good at motocross tires, have irons, soapy water etc. I have no idea whatsoever about trials bikes ('93 Gas Gas). It's tubeless? Special rim band? Any 4.00 X 18 on ebay? Thanks in advance for any help anybody

February 21, 200620 yr Easy wat to change a trials tyre. place a bit off wood under one side of the wheel with it flat on the floor, use a spade and position it next to the rim of the wheel. push down on the spade and it should pop off flip it and do the same on other side. make sure tyre is fully dow before u start. or buy a flashy tyre remover.

There should be no need to put a tube in it.
February 21, 200620 yr Hi urbaxer, If it a tubeless tyre have look at this link. You should find all you need on there. looky
February 28, 200620 yr Taking your tyre to be changed is like asking for directions. A real man won't do it no matter how much pain and heartache it's going to save him. Many a night I've stayed up until midnight the night before a trial, trying to get a tyre off the rim, or back in to the bead, bruised wrists, blistered fingers, aching knees No amount of hassle is too much to avoid the trip to Kwikfit
