  1. My first time I threw a tube into a tire, I got the tire backwards and had to redo the tire change. Despite the head on the machine being bent and tweaked to hell and back, I somehow managed to get the tire off and back on again without tearing or pinching the tube. I genuinely don’t know how I did it, I say the Meguiar’s wax spray I had lubed everything up just enough to keep the tube from twisting, pinching or tearing, plus nearly breaking my knuckles shoving my hands between the rim and bead to make sure the tube was flush against the inside of the tire.

  2. I have never pinch a tube, but I do it waaaay different, after I put the tube I use soapy water to lube the rim an the interior of the neumatic, then I use my body weight to put it in place, I simply walk over the side neumatic

  3. Use soap and water and make sure it’s more soap than water so this way the inner tube doesn’t get pinched you’ll know when there’s no more water or soap when it comes through the spokes

  4. Hold outside bead with a tire spoon tucked under the brake/hub, put a roll of tape (or something) between the other bead and rim, voila you can insert the valve stem with ease

  5. Try the zip tie method. You'll never pinch another tube.

    Six or eight zip ties around the tire to close the beads around the tube before you put it on the rim. Then take them off before you seat the beads. The tube is 100% protected this way. And the beads go right into the center relief. So easy.

  6. No way changing any tire takes 30mins. No way. Unless it's a bicycle, and even that. Taking off the wheel, let's say you never seen this bike b4, takes around 15mins. Taking a tire off and changing it by hand takes at least around 45mins to an hour. I changed enough to know.

  7. I would invest in a tire machine not going to lie… 😅 Idk if they make one for bikes but I recognize the challenge ; tire changing is intense.. I would prefer engine work or transmission work
