Never realized how easy changing a tire could be...

That's pretty cool,but there wasn't a front brake on the bike,which considerably lessens the process.
The guy did a great job of controlling the bike though.The weight difference with the mechanic over the front and the changes in weight distribution had to make keeping the bike up a PITA.

56k here, and tried... Did I see something like a wheel changed, while the rider held a wheel stand? I made it 21 seconds to watch...

Thanks for the video! I am going out right now and try the same thing on my Nomad....who wants to be the tire changer?

I volunteer but with my weight on the front you would never get the front off the ground ;)
