Hi, I’m Chris Kelley and we are here with Expert Village. We are here today how to change a tire on your MX Bike. It seems to be in there. Now, what you want to do is get that tire bead back in there. The tube is in the tire and now we need to get the tire back inside of the rim. Our tire irons. Start at the rim lock. Get inside of the tube. Push that rim lock in, get the tube down. Some times just a little force will help to work the tire back on. Muscle it down with force, a little bit of patience and lot of will actually. You want your tube centered so your valve stem is straight up and down perpendicular with the tire. You don’t want it tilted one way or the other because that will put strain on your tube this could possibly be where your tire breaks, where your tube breaks the second time. It is important to get your tube in straight and square. It is all in there nice and good and next stop let’s give it some air.
