[patr1ckf1994]

stop makin ur vids so awkward at the end!!!

[loservilleize]

Hi mike,i was thinking of changing my rear tire a bit smaller.My back tires is 700x28.What size do you recommend to change my rear?

[SenorDingles]

@loservilleize you can ride any size that your rim and frame allow you can downsize to a 25 no problem usually

[loservilleize]

@SenorDingles i have seen bike which is angled downwards due to the diff rim sizes rear and back.Does it have any effect on the overall speed of the bike?

[edit11]

arnt those specific rims have to be set with tubular tires?

[randyRKO1995]

Were can u get those stickers for bikes

[ayykos]

have you ever heard of overlapping the tire how do you do that.?



[SenorDingles]

@ayykos i haven't heard of that

[boomerang1984]

I never use tyre lever to put in the inner tube...but only to remove it. At the end you should control if the tyre is nicely fitted into the rim and there are no points where the inner tube is coming out.

[ngbooya]

how do you get rid out bubbles in the tube?

[ivanwarlord]

is it harder to use a manual pump on a aerospoke because of thelimited space you got?

[SenorDingles]

@ivanwarlord yea it is

[MaRsx909]

where Can I Buy One Of Those Rims??

[SenorDingles]

@MaRsx909 I got mine on craigslist, you can look on ebay as well

[alexxalexx11]

hey did you custom paint your hed 3 wheel? I noticed the logo is kinda darker than usual. How did you do it? Do you know where I can get some cool graphics for the Hed wheels?

Thanks!!

[SenorDingles]

@Em17henry1 i put a hed 3 logo on the wheel then painted it flat black over it

[DanDavis10]

I hear that a lot of carbon wheels can go out of true kind of easily, is this true?

[SenorDingles]

@DanDavis10 no only do with an accident usually

[15Fixie]

Great vids man. I find them extremely helpful. Where did you get your hed 3?? I am really digging it.

[SenorDingles]

@15Fixie thanks and on craigslist

[merrickx]

It's usually better to avoid using tools when putting a fresh tube in/on. Tools can cause ruptures in the intertube. If you place the wheel on your lap with the last bit of overlapping tire away from you, you can use your palms and ball of the hands to roll the tire over the hooks.

For those who haven't done it, it would seem practically impossible at first, but keep rolling and it should pop on easily.

[CHiSCOSViDEOS]

okay thank you for responding. i subbed for these great informative videos. looking foward to many more to come. one more question, do you think an aerospoke, spinergy, or hed3 is a better overall rim? thanks in advance

[SenorDingles]

@CHiSCOSViDEOS no problem im glad you enjoy them, Aerospokes are really heavy, Spinergy X are known to be dangerous, And i Love my Hed3 but if its windy it kinda sucks.

[MrGoinsm503rd]

Hey, thanks man. This video was very informative. . I changed my first tube and tire while watching it. . All went well except for I popped my brand new tube when pumping it. . Recommend psi level was 130. . it popped riiiiiight at 130 according to my pump.

Is this common? Nothing has ever pissed me off more, so I would love for it to never happen again. lol. thanks.

[SenorDingles]

@MrGoinsm503rd hey man the funny thing is that same thing happened to me when i was making the video haha, usually i put my psi a little below the recommended psi if the tire still feels relaly firm thats what matters, cause if its to much its more likely to pop.

and congrats on changing your first tube and tire

[CHiSCOSViDEOS]

how much was the HED3 rim?

[SenorDingles]

@CHiSCOSViDEOS usually around 345-400 

[tygertang2]

Video suggestion: how to change track bike back wheel, remove the chain, cog ring, cog, etc. Thanks for the great videos!

[SenorDingles]

@tygertang2 what do you mean by changing it? i have a video on how to adjust chain tension for your rear wheel. And ill keep the others in mind for future videos

[tygertang2]

@SenorDingles oh I just meant if I got a new wheel, how do you remove the old one and put the new one in lol...sorry, newbie question

[xGurT]

in your opinion what is the best choice for a skidding tire??



[SenorDingles]

@xGurT Ive been using soma everwear for a while and i like it alot, i used to just run the cheap kevlar 700x28c tires for performance for a long time

[cvelizh]

nice video, but i have a question....i want it to buy a crank for my bike (single speed) but the man asked me if i want it a 160mm or 170mm what does he mean by that? was he talking about the chain ring or the arms of the crank?..

sorry about that silly question but its my first time with a fixed gear

[SenorDingles]

@cvelizh hey no worries, if your frame is a 54cm or smaller get 165mm cranks if its larger get the 170mm, since the frames smaller u get shorter cranks so that when your leaning the bike into a turn the cranks dont hit the ground

[cvelizh]

@cvelizh Thanks alot man..and my frame its a 58cm

now i know what crank to get, thanks!.

[SenorDingles]

@cvelizh happy to help

[TheMuffinShow]

why am I your first tag?

[werty13z]

good video but i think you should have shown how to take the old tube out..just a suggestion though

[SenorDingles]

@werty13z yea my bad, you just take your tire levers and pop tire off and pull the tube out
