Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Drew Neilon from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Little River. I work at Beach Customs and today I'm going to show you how to change and maintain a tire for Expert Village. Alright now that I got everything back into place, I'm going to check to make sure everything is aligned perfect, nothing rubbing up here. I'm going to check the tire pressure. I'm going to spin the tire just to make sure everything's perfect for the rider. I'm going to jack the bike up where the tire's not touching the lift, spin the tire, listen for any noises, the chain's not rubbing on the tire itself, the chain guard is not touching the tire or the little mud flap here, the chain's not touching that. So everything looks right on this side. I'm going on the other side and make sure everything's perfect over there. Alright here everything looks good. I want to make sure my rotor is in the middle of the brake caliper. I am looking down. It's perfect. It has the same amount of space on both sides. So the brakes are fine. There's nothing rubbing, no weird noises. So far everything's perfect. Now I'm going to check the tire pressure and make sure I have at least 40 p.s.i.. This tire calls for 40 to 42 p.s.i. I checked the tire pressure and it reads out 42 right on the money. I'm ready to get it off the lift, next stop road trip and we're ready to go."
