I tried getting a local bike shop in Portland to view this video and have my Xiaomi tubeless tire fitted onto my Gotrax XR Ultra rear wheel rim but they were too afraid to commit to this. So I took it upon myself. I gathered some very little supplies from the local hardware store; a 5 gallon bucket, 11 inch zip ties, and a 12 inch bar clamp. The workers at the ACE hardware shop didn't quite know themselves on how to tackle the installation but they agreed that my set-up was sound. Fast forward, I warmed up two pots of water to just under 200 deg F and let the tire soak for 10 minutes. You need just enough water to fully submerge the tire. I had with me two big tire irons from a previous purchase and a can of WD 40 just in case i needed lubricant. Guess what, folks. All it took was ONE zip tie and two of three tire irons I own and the tire went onto the rim in less than one minute. I kid you not, it's fucking doable and I have little to no experience with bike/scooter maintenance (although I have experience as a maintenance worker). 5 Gallon bucket of 200 deg F water (soak for 10 minutes -- THIS IS CRITICAL AND WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND ENERGY) One zip tie (I didn't even need the damn Bar Clamp) Two tire irons (not sure if you can get away with just one) Whole prep and execution done in less than 15 min. Thank you for this video. I've seen countless others and this was by far the most efficient process. I was worried I'd need a table mounted clamp like in this video but I did this on my kitchen floor. For safety reasons, just don't heat the tire in an oven or microwave or have it inside one of your pots. Get a bucket and wear some work gloves while you're at it.

I found that placing the tire/rim into a vice and one crowbar (tire iron) was enough. The heated water or soap/cleaner/wd40 was not necessary.

Thank you for showing the method! It worked well for me. Tips: make sure you heat the tire - microwave is fine, use liquid soap or oil as lubrication - also on your tire levers, think of the process as snapping a big thick rubber band onto the rim. Stretch that tire to get it over the rim and don't be shy, you're not going to break the tire. Next up: I try to do the front tire without a vise.

Tried this on my front tire with the hub motor in and had to muscle it the old fashioned way. Not the vice method. Front tire wheel and tire wouldn't stay in the vice for the life of me. Kept popping out. Perhaps removing the hub motor might have made it easier but i doubt it.

OK the microwave thing is absolutely untrue I heated these same tires with a microwave, it was fine. Heating with a microwave works better if you soak them in water first and then heat them but it does heat even if you don’t use water. Microwaves (and I’ve heard this before) don’t just heat things with water in them, microwaves bombard The molecule/Atoms with light which strikes the electrons and moves the electrons to a higher orbits which causes the molecule to move other molecules (obviously it’s a lot more complicated but that’s the basic premise)i.e.heat. It has nothing to do with if it has water or not.
