VIDEO: Mike Brown ISDE Rear Tire Change

During the International Six Days Enduro, each rider is allotted 15 minutes for bike maintenance, which usually involves changing front and rear tires, gassing the bike up, changing the oil and checking bolts. We caught Mike Brown changing his rear tire on Day One of this year’s ISDE in Kosice, Slovakia in just over three minutes, from the time he loosened the rear axel nut to the time he tightened it.

Mechanics are not allowed to assist the riders during the maintenance period other than to hand them tools, which you will see in this video, although due to environmental concerns, the mechanics are allowed to gas the bike up and change the oil for the rider.

This is a way cool video, and it shows up close what goes on at the end of each day in Six Days competition.
