No worries,  and yes the V8 only takes about 15mins to change a tyre/tube.

inmotions are my favourite to change the tire on.. no nonsense like stripping screws or tearing up motor cables, splitting the shell etc haha

Hi - looking to replace my V8 tube. Replacing a Kendra 16 x 1.95 with a Bell 16 1.75 - 2.25 tube, and the Bell tube seems to be too big. Attempting to attach a photo, but if doesn't work, here's the link: https://ibb.co/2vDWpJw

Why would there be such variance between tube sizes? Should I just trust that it will sort itself out? I bought this particular tube from Walmart based on a recommendation from this post.

Also, using a straight valve with a spacer as per other's suggestions, but having a hell of time trying to inflate, as the valve doesn't have enough clearance from the wheel in order to fit the pump nozzle on top. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Never mind - I think it seems to have fitted just fine. And I was able to pry the valve away from the wheel, despite much protest. :) I would have deleted my post but that doesn't seem to be an option. All good here.

Because euc manufacturers tend to name wheel diameter from outer tire circumference, where it should be named from rim size. 16 inch v8 is really a 12 inch wheel.

There are two standards, bicycle and motorcycle. EUCs simply follow the bicycle standards. Naturally, since MC tires are not available in all EUC sizes.
