This is not a tutorial. As anyone knows there are thousands of different ways to change a wheel/tire.
These are just a few tips I have learned over the years doing my own tires.
The first thing I do is remove both calipers. There is no quicker way to remove and replace the front wheel. It's just too fiddly to line up to the pads in the caliper left on. Some guys spread the pads and leave one caliper on. Your choice......
I use water bottles to prevent the rim from scratching and dowels to keep the tire in the drop center of rim:
My Motion Pro bead breakers worked like a dream. I cannot believe how easy it is to change a tubeless tire!! I'm used to UHD tubes and double rim locks. The only small issue was getting it to seat. I'm not into letting the tires warm in the sun or spreading the bead. With proper technique tires always mount easy even in frozen conditions. I just put a ratchet strap on and it seated right up with the valve core installed.
I have to say these Anakee Wild tires were the easiest to balance than any other tire. It took just an ounce to get it perfect.
