Never done it myself, but probably a trade I need to take up if I ever destroy a tire on the trail.
Recommended equipment? How about balancing? |

I've never done it myself, but do a search for scudman on youtube. He has quite a few vids up there on do it yourself.

btw - I carry both tubes, a patch kit, and two short tire irons with me at all times. When I'm at home I cheat and have one long tire iron at my disposal, but I've never really had a problem just using the little ones out in the woods. |

I just do it when I go to the track. I know the tire guy at the Dunlap trailer and he does them for free.

I'm assuming the tires on the Wr are tubed? I wish I could remember the name of it, but there's a product out that looks like a tire tube, but it's not a complete circle. It allows you to change your tube without pulling the tire off of the bike. The two sealed ends butt up against each other and complete the circle..
