Hello from Vietnam. I'm a dirt bike tour-guide, used to take people in adventure tours around Vietnam and Laos. Your channel is really helping me doing my good job everyday. Many thanks Adam.

When we first started out on our adventure, I didn't know how to change a tire. I spent hours trying to find a video that really broke everything down for someone who just didn't have a clue (me). This is the first video I have seen where you explained the small things in detail. Good on you!

Great and quite informative! Please do one for the rear wheel as well 👍

exactly, I never had a flat front !!! :))

How many will religiously follow the vid and not visually check and run hand inside tyre to see if what caused puncture is waiting to meet new tube.

suprisingly, it could be a rock that got inside somehow or a bent piece of steel wire the tire armor is made of that punctured it.

Please make a rear wheel Thank you very much, great

Odd how all the vids show a front wheel repair. I suppose it’s a bigger headache with the back wheel

Put the strap a little higher on the tree and around the butt end of the frame to lift it off the ground.

Strap the front brake with a length of Velcro, zip tie, or whatever. Then, lean the bike forward against the stand instead of aft. I use a small collapsible stand that wedges under the right peg mount, but a block, rock, milk crate, or even just knocking the bike over will do. Once it’s off the bike, it’ll be the same as any other tire change, just with a harder sidewall.

Where can I find a tree out in ze desert 😉

I’ve been riding for years but finally determined to take care of my own bike more and more. This is useful!

My memories: watching Motonomad for the first time, long time ago, Mongolian adventure... Adam using dry grass and stuff he found around to fill the tire, managing to get to the next place where he got the spare inner tube.... Never rode a motorbike in that moment. FFW 10ish years... I am riding those iron ponies with that same smile I had on my first day when I got 125cc vintage honda... Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for being honest non-gimmicky human. Respect to that!

One of the best how 2s I’ve seen mate. 42 years of riding and still learning 👍👍👍

Love that "leaning to a tree" technique, lots of trees over here. But never thought of that. But I have only got punctures on the trail 2 times since the moped age. Great riding Adam and thanks for the tips and tricks!

Enjoying these videos..46yrs old and rediscovering bikes again after 20 yr hiatus..we are not too old..whatever u wanna do..get busy doing it! Thanks Adam!

Hey Adam, I love the way this channel is going! Looking forward to all the other cool stuff that is going to be published 😍 thank you !

Best tyre change video I’ve seen that was super easy to follow!

Thank you Adam! Just did my first motorbike tire change on the T7 with no dramas.

Great video and great channel. Only just found you but enjoying the content. Another request here for a video on a rear wheel change and "bush" chain alignment which is something I always worry too much about getting bang on lined up! Love the chilled out "take your time" attitude to getting the job done!

I am glad I watched this because it has been awhile since I had to do it in alone the wild. The last time I did, I put a hole in my spare tube by putting it in with no air in it. I discovered my error when I had the tire back on the wheel and aired up the new tube which didn't hold air because I had unknowingly punctured it myself while putting the tire back on the wheel. Colorful language followed. I removed the tube I had just installed and fortunately I was able to patch the tube with a patch kit. I carried a spare tube and a patch kit because the patch kit is light and fit with the other tools I already carry and also my Dad told me to. I replaced the patched tube and rider karma was with me. The tube now held air. The tube that started the day in the tire was too far gone to patch. I took it with me and hung it on a nail in the garage for a season or two. A nod to self inflicted wounds.

Another great video thanks really like the strap idea looks a lot safer than the swing arm jacks and other ways I’ve seen it done looking forward to more of this type of video

Love watching your videos, you just have that cool, calm and collective attitude!! Which a lot of us loss out on the the tracks, Nice to have you back home and looking forward to many more informative videos 📹 👍

Very informative video. A must watch for every adventurer out there. Thanks Adam 👍

Just picked up a lightly used 2022 T7 and found your channel. New subscriber and I’m enjoying your work already. Thanks mate

One of the best motorcycle tips that I have seen in years. Thank you.

Great video Adam. Thank you for yet another bit of quality content.

Refreshing and clever steps. Thanks a bunch, awesome content as always!

I love your no-nonsense bush workshop. I learned a few tricks for ACT/TET Romania in August, thanks a lot. Günter/Nürnberg

Simply brilliant, calm & clear. Very pleased to see new content👍

Much appreciated Adam! You give top notch info and advice that comes from your incredible experience very few people can match. I’m just getting into adventure riding and trying to soak up all the knowledge I can from the best. 🙏🏽 Keep it coming buddy! 🏍💨

Also great for people getting back into off road capable bikes after many years on something else. In my case it has been muscle cruisers. I still have a 2022 Triumph Rocket 3 GT (triple black). That said, the call of roads, trails and adventures where I dare not take that bike sings to me. Two very different types of riding. Through conversation I know that many ADV riders have other types of bikes. If I had to choose, the Triumph gets sold.

Very nice...I'll steel the strap idea....I enjoyed the calmness of how you changed the flat. It was a good lesson on taking a breather before diving in.

on my own tenere, zero mechanical experience... KEEP EM COMING!! thank you and keep at it

Thanks for the video. Surprising how many people can’t do this tire repair when off-road. It can be a bit more tricky if using 19” road wheels. 3 irons can help. I’d love to see your solution for a rear tire.

Next episode the backwheel 😂 Nice tip to use the tree!

G'day Adam any chance of doing a video on the rear wheel with the strap. I managed to get 2 sticks in my rear tyre within 500mtrs yesterday and 8t would be handy to see how its done. Thanks Dave.

Thanks for a great explanation. Very helpful, especially the chill out bit.😀

This channel is pure gold, thanks man!

A simple and ingeniuos idea for lifting the front wheel. Thanks!

Thank you Adam! All the best from CANADA!

Done it many times but good review from such a pro. Did I mention my t7 almost has 30000 miles. Bought with 500 miles.

Wonderful advice! Great in the woods but personally I found that out in the desert, the camel I strapped the bike to kept moving around. Admittedly after I fed him my entire months supply of "Moroccan Black" and all my water he did calm down a bit, but then he fell asleep and I couldn't get my bloody strap back.

That's deffently good to know ..never seen the trick with the strap and the tree, awesome..Great video and will be adding this to my knowledge before I go on my travels in 2023 for sure...love the channel..all the best from uk 🇬🇧

Awesome. Simple and clear. Thanks!

Bravo! Tires are changed in the same way on road bikes and mountain bikes!

As a relative newbie, this is brilliant. Thankyou.

Great vid! Love your content. I can’t wait to see how you set that T7 up for luggage.

That was a nice easy change. I remember many years ago changing the front on my F650 Dakar. It was the first front moto tyre I'd changed and had probably been on the bike for 10 years. Bloody thing was almost welded to the rim.

Another stellar video bud…..you’re just killing it

Love this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Greatly appreciated. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Hi, good idea, I didn't see before! My last flat tire was in an area with no trees. The bike in use was with center stand! A center stand is a good thing, On a trip! Only on the racetrack I don't want one. Next travel without centerstand I will take a solution with me, that I tested at home! Greatings

I'm planning to get T7 because of the simplicity and the way you explain to us

Another awesome video full of useful tips and information. I have been riding since I was quite young and I keep learning from your site...great job!! Cheers 😎

Nice! Just remember to check the tyre for thorns before throwing in the new inner tube. Brilliant Vid thanks keep'em coming.

Amazing vid! I’ve never ridden any bike in my life and watched the whole thing without blinking.

Great video. Thanks. Love all your videos

This mate makes it look so easy. Thanks

Thanks for the video. Tip with the strap is brilliant. You made it look easy.

I always like your content but as a solo rider I appreciate even more this video!

Great job showing off your skills. Thanks from Seattle

Hey Adam! Can you teach us the basics about enduro/adventure riding. 🙏🏽love your skills man!! 🖤

Great lesson from the master 👍🏻. Thanks 👍🏻

You sure make that look easy! I had a hell of a time, in the comfort of my own garage, getting a Dunlop Trailmax Mission (TMM) front tire on with just spoons. Never got there with the rear tire. Stiffest tire I have ever seen, just ridiculous! They last forever and they are a good 50/50 tire, but I won't be buying them again. I have zero confidence that I could do a repair like you did, on the trail, with those TMM tires.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Great video! Thanks!

Awesome video, thanks, I'm hoping to get my tenere 700 next year, I'm in the us so we will see, I'll starting to get my tools now I know the first thing is a tire repair kit.

Great content, once again! Keep the videos coming👍

Really good stuff for a novice motocamper like me. Looking forward to the packing vid.

Followed your adventures for a long time, and seen your movies, but after warhorse I'm now also subscribed to your youtube channel :) Let the adventures begin.

I'm not sure what I admire more: your Aussie accent or your motowisdom . I think it's the motorwisdom. And the always spot on videography.

I still dont have one, but I am learning the most I can before I am able to buy. Thank you to make it that easy to understand 😊

Thank you! Gives me confidence to be able to do this on my own. Please do a vid for the rear tire?

Gr8 Bush mechanic work. Luv it!

Great technique. Thanks 🤙

Thanks for showing.

Great instructions!

Great Job - great Inspiration❤

Great Video. I really liked the Trick using the Tree. I have to admit, I would have never thought about using a Tree. Thanks for all the Work you do making these Videos.

Helps a lot, once again :) Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Great hint with the tree and the strap to free the front wheel.

Another brilliant helpful video 👍

Thanks for the video

Thank you. A very nice tip! I can recommend the DRC tire levers with a hex wrench on the end.

Dude you are a G Always love for the knowledge.

Wonderful, things could be so easy!!! The tree-strap-trick is gorgeous! 😃

thats so helpfull, thank you

Your channel is awesome. I won't forget the KTM video you did, The Power of Sound

Excelent tutorial!

Love your riding style

Fantastic info

That strap patent with tree is great. Thx man for sharing. 🤜🏻🤘🏻

Thank you for the trick guy!!!

Great video! Welcome back to Aus!

Nice, looking forward to the next one.

Just got a T7. 1st puncture 300 miles in. After ploughing through a couple of OTT how too videos its good too see a " loosen this, fix this, tighten this video. And have faith in your feeler gauge fingers when it comes to torque settings. Nice tree trick too 👍

I’ve never changed a tire/tube outside of the workshop. The cam buckle strap trick came in handy on the side of the Maluti mountains on Sani pass at the S.A / Lesotho border with dwindling light and negative temperatures approaching

Sick riding! I love that T7.

Hi Adam! Thanks for your video. Like your manner to explain. Maybe your motto is: take it easy? Hope to find tools with plastic or rubber not to damage the expensive rims 🙂

Ottimo consiglio! Grazie

De vuelta en tu tierra!. Creo que la primera norma no escrita del aventurero es aprender a reparar un pinchazo de la camara. Muy buenos trucos y recomendaciones gracias . Por cierto yo suelo llevar también parches y pegamento de recambió. Ya me ha tocado reparar dos veces en el mismo día. Y otra cosa importante pasar la mano por dentro por si tuviese una punta o clavo en interior del neumático. Gracias

This is why I do all my adventures on a postie bike. It has a centre-stand :). Good tip on partially inflated tube on reinstall. I pinched about 3 tubes in a row once by NOT doing this!

I don’t think I will ever do this but I really enjoyed watching this video 💪💪👍👍👍

For a hand pump, it's hard to beat the Topeak Mountain Morph. Takes up about the space of your pump, but with a flip out footrest, handle, and flexible hose, makes it so much nicer... and prevents breaking the stem with side loads. I have a few on bicycles, and love 'em. For my KLR, I have a battery powered portable compressor, but if I were to take an extended trip away from power sources, I'd borrow one of my Morphs to take with me.

That tree thing was just genius!!! Thank you!

Very good video 👍

Great video!

Nice video! Those look like Rabaconda levers, they are the best. Combined with the perfect technique shown in the video it really isn't that hard. I carry a small pump bottle with Windex in it which is good for lubing the final bit of the bead which helps on the tuffer rear tire.
