Re: How to Change a Front Tire, my way

That only shows how you got the front wheel off, not how you changed the tire and 900's aren't THAT heavy, they're like 450lbs wet, and an F4i is 425, and damn I thought I was skinny, I'm 6'5 190.

You're not letting those calipers hang by the brakelines, are you?

You're bike looks a lot better with a cage and rash though... you gotta 12 bar on there?

oh; for the tire i used some spoons...i just liked my fancy rock idea. and ya, my calipers are danglin' by the line. im planning on gettin some SS ones soon, so i dont care about those ones. ya, i have a twelve bar...but im too much of a squid to use it. still trying to figure out a cool place to mount my BP button
