Just need some advice ... because my rational decision making is frequently better in hindsight.
I intend to use my Husqvarna 630 supermoto as an adventure bike so I have bought some enduro tires to put on the 'street' rims. I know this isn't ideal, but I don't want to purchase another set of rims.
I can get a professional to make the tire change for me, for $140.
I'm trying to decide if should attempt this change myself ... mainly for the reason that I may need to fix a flat one day, while in the middle of nowhere, so I may need to better understand what I'm getting into.
I've changed many bicycle tires, but I don't recall ever changing a motorcycle tire. IF I did it would have been on a small dirt bike 40 years ago.
I've also heard that breaking the bead on a supermoto rim can be a pain - so I don't think this is an easy job.
I'll also need to buy some tire levers, but I planned on getting some anyway.
If any of you have any advice or past experience with this, I'm all ears.
Thanks!!!
