This brings back old memories. I was terrified of doing it but I live on an island with no bike shops. Now seeing this, I remember using soapy water to remove the tire. I now remember that I did this 50+ years ago and got good at it. Then, I tried to change a car tire with a professional shop pressured rig and I almost killed myself. Thanks for the very, very cool video. Nice bike too.
I've got an old Chicago Schwinn Collegiate, was my grandma's. Must be from the 60s or early 70s. Nice blue, but gone unused for a very long time. Wanted to ride it today and half way out I hear a snap like a firecracker and the old read tire had popped. It's one of those s5-s6 tires they don't make anymore too. Found a company that makes tires for the bikes luckily and just ordered some. This video will deffenrtly be helping me replace the old tires and tubes, saddly the vintage tires are too dry-rotted to keep useing.
Just got the new tires and installed them, went well. I think I have the wheels aligned well too. Thanks for the great video! Also its a 1971 Schwinn Collegiate lady's frame bicycle in sky blue, 5 speed Chicago production.
With the bike upside down, try to use only a downward motion when tightening. This helps keeps the axle firmly in the seated position. If it wobbles while riding, check that the axle is correctly seated on both sides...
On my 1971 the year is stamped on the middle part of the crank bar (piece that holds the pedals) where it's covered by the frame. I found that out when I was taking it apart to clean it.

Thanks for the vid. I picked up a 1959 Schwinn traveler this week. it needs new tires.
… and I got a 61 Schwinn Collegiate this week. I worry about hot weather and the roads made from pointy shale debris.

What year is your bike? I have the exact same one.
