While James could stand to speak up a bit this lesson really helped. I've tried to change quite a few tires and it was always a fairly frustrating process. I've pinched tubes, bent valves, and probably anything else you can think of. From now on I expect my tire changing sessions to go much, much smoother!

Also, a little tip I learned online. You can usually use a strong spoon instead of that special tool he had to get your tire off. Not as easily I'm sure but free!

The instructor needs to speak up more - it was hard to hear what he was saying, especially in the beginning. But otherwise a nice video.

I love learning how to take care of these types of things on my own. Makes me feel like I'm a bike guru even though I own a yellow cruiser ;p
Nothing fancy. And a hand-me-down at that!

Production Notes: Lighting is a little dark. The two cameras have different color contrast so editing between them is a little distracting. Great audio! And wonderfully informative.
