[Closed] TURNING BIKE UPSIDE DOWN TO FIX PUNCTURE: Video evidence:

No?

Has the shame caught up with you?

Not had the time Al. What are your requirements? I dont have a puncture at the moment will you be satisfied wilt the flip wheel(s) removal and refit then flip again?

I_ache that would be ace, ta. been busy today too.

Well the pros do it the right way up - even the girls!

If it isn't raining tomorrow night I will get a vid done when I get home from work. Just for you Al.

There you go...

Well at least you did it where no one would see you 😉

Also not a video. Please notice that in addition to my obvious 'turning the bike upside down to fix a puncture' numptiness, I then didn't even take the wheel out!

I'm going to hell.

No, he did it where no roadies would see him.
& he did it in the proper manner.

Rob, that's disrespectful to the inferior method. I approve.

So to do it with the bike the right way up you have to wear latex gloves.

Also I would not to ride off road with the qr that loose 😯

Another still, but here we go.

Have I missed something? Is someone suggesting you should fix a puncture with the bike the 'right' way up? How does that work?

Here you go glen.

So where do you put the bike once the wheel is out, if it's not upside down?

The floor I think. On its side, maybe.

wierd

Cynic-al I hope you are planning to do a vid so all of us non believers can see how you do it.

Both wheels off and back on again. Some smart arse can edit the videos together to see who is fastest.

Why?

Try mending this the 'right' way up.

The writing in that link seems to be the wrong way up too!!!!!!!

does this count? obviously it'd be easier with a dropper post (isn't it always?)

It's Welsh.
Sorry, bit of an in-joke for that post! Just scroll down to the pic of half a mech. I'm fairly sure the bike has to be upside down to do that one.

Safely take my bike off the trail,be safe,be seen,bike positioned upside down for repair dutys.

Its not a puncture tho is it.

I didn't manage a vid Al. When are you putting yours up?

It'll be middle of next week at the earliest.

It's important tho, I'll do it.

Personally I carry a shop-standard bike stand on my back when I bike for fear of even scratching the saddle. Couldn't bear the thought of my bike being anything other than mint 🙂

See: First 30 seconds for upside down action.

😆

(Edit: Please excuse early attempt at camera angling and video editing 🙂 )

Ignore the out of focus phone photo and severely messy shed. Here is my bike upside down having changed the tyre, with a fully fully functioning workstand not 2 feet away...

Front puncture right way up ,rear upside down.

is this a fairhurst thread? 😀

the history of the internet tells me that i should lay the bike on its side
