Default I Also Changed A Tire Today...

With my harbor Freight tire changer and Mojo blocks and bar....


From this... BT-002RS






To this... BT-003RS


BTW I found these tires for $200 for my sizes 120/70-190/50. They also had Conti-motion tires for $160 in my sizes.

If you havent done the rear, can you video your self doing it just so I can see your technique.

Sure but it'll be a while... I changed the rear a few weeks ago and it's getting cold so I won't ride as much or as hard.
