    My 125 is like that and is EZ. My 511 the rim lock is on the opposite side and not quite as ZE but still simple to do if you have the technique. I had tried mounting it with the tube int he tire before with limited luck. Figured it out and now it is super simple and tire changes have become silly EZ even stiff 19" ones.

    Once you use it a few times it really is as EZ as the vid. I am shocked how quick I can mount a stiff 19" tire now.

    I didn't see where the dude is holding down the side that keeps wanting to pop up as you are working the bead around. I always seem to have that problem. I need 4 arms and 3 legs to get a tire on and of course, its only me working the tire.. Seems to take a couple of hours of sweating and swearing, to get the old one off and the new one on.

    I know I'm doing it wrong but I only have one brain and it doesn't fire the same synapses as everyone else. Most people say its just common sense, but that doesn't seem to compute on the same level as everyone else.

    its tricky esp with dual-bead locks, but there's a science to it. google some vids, you'll see, then the light bulb 'll come on. i find when i start sweating im doing it wrong. i saw a vid of LR at an ISDE i think it was swap out two tires and rear pads in 7 mins, with foamies. he musta practiced in his sleep. he never missed a step it was intuitive. pretty impressive.
