If you have already done it a few times. It would take me much longer on my first try. I brought my 31’s to a motorcycle shop with the wheels to get done. I was afraid of damaging the rim but have seen a few tricks of the trade here. I will attempt it next tire change.
Oh, that is on me. I let my rear tire go a bit too long, and had to do an emergency install last get together in Spearfish. It was slim pickings naturally, so I had to take whatever would get me home.Why do they do that.
Good choice with the 31.

I'm not sure how one would damage a rim, removing a tire or mounting a new one.
Likewise, I've got a "little chap" who gets my tyres in and fits them, ex Honda mechanic in the day.
I think he if referring to cosmetic damage, i.e. scratching up the wheel through use of wrong tools or just inexperience.
Ahhh - thanks for clarifying ... I hadn't considered that angle. I know, it's strange to read this ... "changing a tire is second nature" to me, but I've been doing it so long, I don't think much about my technique.
Looking forward to hearing how these perform and hold up. They could be on my bike next year, for a go,,, CAt'
