Hi all, I don't know if this is of any use, it's more for fun than anything...

On another forum, some members challenged me to do a wheel change on my PX200.. after a discussion on what is easier, fixing a puncture, or changing a wheel..

It's pretty basic, and only a front wheel change. although I did do it with the vespa-packed tools only (crap). After posting the vid, they then told me to do it in the dark, in the rain, in the bush, and changing the REAR wheel *sigh*. You just can't win!

Enjoy

Very nice, James!

I'm going to get off my butt and change my tires one of these days. Seeing how the front wheel goes off and on if really helpful.

Nice work!

Thanks,

apparently splitting the rims is a bit of a pain... Haven't gotten there yet. My PX only has 800km's on it thus far

Yeah if you come across a rim-splitting video please share it as well... That's something I plan on doing at some point.
