Wondering if it is worth it or not? I can take old and new to dealer to mount and balance. Beginner should be able to do this?&nbsp\\;I have the service manual, but that isnt always the clearest for a beginner.&nbsp\\; I did 5k service with no issues that I didnt get answered here.&nbsp\\;I could have dealer do the instal, and get my belt tensioned by them as part of service they would do for the tire anyway. I would pay someone to teach me, stand over my shoulder. I just dont want to have a future post that reads - My back tire passed me today on the highway.LMAO.&nbsp\\;OK, thanks for the replies.....

 

Pull axle and drop wheel in 5 minutes

 

The first time I changed mine, it took awhile.&nbsp\\; Definantely need a good lift and floor jack to make the job easier, the manual gives pretty good instuctions. Just take your time and the right tools also make it easier, axle nut is a 36mm on my bike, be sure to torque all nuts to specifications.

 

if you have the new profile spokes take it to an indy dealer and have them do the swap then install yourself. should be around 60$.

 

Dont forget to buy the explosive bead breaker solvent to get the old tire off. 8-)

 

it is just comman sence man, lot of people make it harder then it is, just look at it read the svc book and do it.

 

you can do it

 

not a big deal. done it several times. not a 5 min job tho (on my bike anyway)

 

Lots of step by step advice available via Google

Always line up the yellow dot with the valve stem.

 

I agree with most: Easy job. But it took me about 15 to 20 minutes from start to completion. That includes placing jack under the bike, finding the right tools etc... I bought my tire online from J&amp\\;P and had a local shop mount and spin ballance for $20. The labor at a dealer is for those who have money to burn.
