How to switch from Slick to Knobby tires for a MTB ride





Don't bother !!! do the same as us.... One of our mate came for this ride in Xiakeng-Anhui Province with slick tires..too lazy to switch beforehand at home !!


1- Remove your wheels out of the van

2- After wasting your time trying to remove the tire from the wheel, use a huge and sharpened special local tool (big knife) to split the tire apart
3- Then use scissor to cut the tire and remove the inner tube

4- Go on all along the tire

5- After having understood that there is no f***ing inner tube but only a tire completely glued to the rim, destroy it completely Actually, the flat tires was increadibly stuck on the rim....impossible to remove. we spent one hour and half in order to swich properly from one to another for both wheels. no mentioning the two flat tires we had before being ready to ride !!




Yes , you can enjoy your ride now !

Actually, we all enjoyed riding in this place !

Super le coin... Ca devait valoir le coup de galérer un peu.

btw, u've forgotten to say that the red bike he's riding is not his bike! yep, indeed, the first day we didn't know the trick to change the tire ;-)

Deja le velo ne m'inspire pas trop en Lozere alors depuis que j'ai pris des leçons pour changer les pneus, ca ne va surement pas s'arranger ! Je veux bien visiter la Chine mais tant qu'a faire a cheval ou a dos d'âne !
