mate thank you so much, I've literally been through 5 inner tubes recently (3 were faulty and they did accept a return even though it's been used), then I did some research on good inner tubes coz I was going for the cheaper one. I also tried rushing a patch job that just destroyed it with pinches in several areas then I found this! Trust me everyone watching, don't buy 4 tubes for 8 quid on amazon, spend like 10-15 on a good one and you won't be let down (pun intended)

A note: Johnsons Baby Powder may be made of cornstarch instead of talc which can lead to the tube eventually sticking to the tire, rim strip or both. Talc is best, but wear a respirator or use outside as it is no bueno for the lungs. I put the talc in a plastic bag with the tube and shake it, then remove. You can get pure talc from aircraft supply houses. Good vid ;-)

Shane, We really appreciate the tutorial. You faked us out as you mounted the wheels on the Cervelo rather than the bike up on the rack there in your garage I am curious for your comments relating to these wheels vs the hookless types like Zipp, etc. No I am not completely ready to run tubeless but it seems the new process technologies for hookless are where the industry will go (of course with the properly designated tires) given the weight reductions achieved and lower manufacturing cost. I look forward to your review, really like the wide internal depth Cheers!

One thing I've found is that the new generation of tubes, like Tubolitos, have a more plastic like feel and are MUCH easier to install without pinching because the material is slick to the touch, whereas latex and butyl are not.

Wanted to state that I had a different experience...which honestly caught me off guard. I saw you were doing this with latex, and as I use latex tubes in one set of wheels too, had to see how you did it. The last time I replaced tires, I actually found that installing a latex tube completely flat made it less likely to pinch them. I pinched the first tube still partially inflated from the previous tire when re-installing it. And I absolutely install butyls with a few psi in them. I also do the "bead seating" check before inflating the tires. This isn't meant to be contradictory, just more of an observance that my result 'varied.' and tbf, I was installing a set of Michelin tires at the time, which could play a role. I also have a set of GP5000 TLRs (using tubes) that I'm actually afraid to put latex inners in because of how hard they were to squeeze over the rim.

What is your experience of letting a tyre cure for some weeks before riding it? Had much problems with the GP5000 last year when using it out of the box. Many little pinch holes and cuts that turned into flats since grains would get stuck in them and then work their way through. This year I bought a set early and let them sit on spare wheels for ~6 weeks. Even I originally didn't believe in it I see that they're holding up much better.

They have far less rolling resistance and are lighter. Puncture protection is the same or even better compared to (lightweight) butyl tubes. However, they are more sensitive to burst during installation when they are accidentally pinched between the rim and the tire. Also, they lose air faster because latex is more porous. This means pumping your tires before every ride. I love my latex tubes however. It got me off tubeless.

The problem with this (and most) instructional videos is you guys are experts & go TOO FAST! Even when you think you're going slow, its still too fast for a novice or someone having problems. For me the major issues are: 1) The tube is always slightly too big for the frame...and the extra slack keep making it fall off. 2) Inserting a tube with the tire still halfway on...doesnt work as the tire is always in the way. The method I've been doing is take both completely off & stuff the tube into the tire. Then put both on together. (Problem with this is 60-75% of the time, there might be a pinch...but I still cant get it on with your method)

There´s a reason why you put the logo by the valve. There´s also a reason why you put the tube in a direction in the tyre. By using the rolling direction and the logo, you know where the tyre is sitting on the rim, you position the tyre. By using the print, which generally is on somewere on the tube, you position the tube in relation to the tyre. You position the print to either roll to the ground before the valve, or after. Now, IF you have a flat, and want to ascertain as much as possible not to have another, you feel inside your tyre two laps, and another two in the opposite direction. Nothing? Fine. Gently inflate your tube, search the puncture. There. Now you KNOW where the puncture in the tube is situated in relation the the tyre. Match them again, logo goes theeere and print goes theeere, and search the tyre throughly at the point the puncture directs you to. Still nothing in the tyre? Do the rest and ride ahead. Mr. Miller, you didn´t mention the importance of the rim shape. Most ( good ) rims are Vshaped on the inside, a fact you use to mount the tyre. When trying to heave the last part of the tyre to the rim, ensure that the tyre already on the rim sits, not in the bead, but INSIDE of the bead, in the groove so to speak. In effect, this reduces the diameter of the rim, leaving you more tyre to push over the rim, and job done. Personally, I´d NEVER push the wheel against the floor. Not necessary when using the proper technique, and a possibility to create your own snakebite flat. Latex tubes are a breeze to patch, BTW. You can use an old latex tube to cut your own patches so they will stretch correctly with the tube when inflated. Rgr
