This video details step by step how to install a new bicycle tire and inner tube.

The old tire removed from the bike in this video is the Schwalbe Durano DD, which is a strong but heavy tire and comparable to the Continental Gator Hardshell tire. Both are solid urban commuting tires.

The new tire installed on the bike in this video is the Schwalbe Durano, which is not as strong but is less heavy and comparable to the Continental Gatorskin tire. I hope it proves to be a reliable commuting tire for riding on nice days.

I put a Continental Race 28 Light tire inner tube in the front tire and a Schwable SV 20 Extra Light tire inner tube in the rear tire. Both tubes are comparable to each other; I just used what I had.

Note that it also helps to pump up the tire from zero pressure with it off the ground or not yet installed in the bike because the added weight of bike pushing on the tire can cause it to deform and possibly pinch the tube and pop.
