Kluane National Park - Yukon

How to Change a Tire on the Side of the Road

Wayne met a fellow rider who is also doing the National Parks tour and is traveling with him for the next couple of days. He and B.B. encountered another rider who was on his way to Anchorage to get new tires. His back tire was out of tread and he was running on it flat:




Here is Wayne & B.B.'s new friend, Scott, looking pretty stranded!



It takes a little bit of ingenuity to get the bike up and ready for the tire to come off:



And still more to get the tire off of the rim:



But they were able to get it done, then found a house a bit down the road where they could borrow a compressor and get the tire aired up.





Wayne's in Anchorage today, getting his tires changed out and the bike looked over.
