    • Follow steps 1-13 of the guide, "InMotion V8 (and variants) Electric Unicycle (EUC) Inner Tube Replacement." Procure a fresh tube, and disassemble the unicycle until you have removed the old tube.

    • Since you can't buy a smaller tube, you'll need to ignore the warnings about using a smaller tube (just use a fresh one)

    • The liner is a hoop. Cut it open as cleanly and straight as you are able.

    • I tried a chef's knife and a bread knife before resorting to a masonry blade on a table saw. Even that didn't cut cleanly, which I guess is a testament to the elasticity and density of this foam...

    • I packed the armor in snugly, marked the end, added 3/4"-- and I was short, I crammed another piece 3" long into the gap. So-- add 4" to be safe, you can always cut it shorter.

    • If you have a better technique, please edit this guide!

  5. How to add Tannus Armour to InMotion V8 (and variants) Electric Unicycle (EUC), Trim the overwrap: paso 4, imagen 1 de 1

    • Using scissors, follow the cut line to trim the insert even with the bead.

    • This easy to do while the insert is removed from the tire.

    • Remove the valve cap from the valve stem of the tube. Insert the valve stem into the tire with correct orientation. Reinstall the valve cap.

    • Work the tube into the tire and work one bead of the tire onto the wheel. This is a tight stretch but can be done without tools, using body weight and the heels of your hands.

  7. How to add Tannus Armour to InMotion V8 (and variants) Electric Unicycle (EUC), Arrange the armor and tube: paso 6, imagen 1 de 1

    • Inspect that the tube is inside the armor at the valve, and the armor is not folded under the tube. This is a tactile inspection (see photo), you won't be able to see it or use tools.

    • Inspect that the tube will not be kinked, or pinched by the tire beads.

    Editar

    • Continue the procedure from step 15 of "InMotion V8 (and variants) Electric Unicycle (EUC) Inner Tube Replacement."

    • After installing the tire, I removed the valve stem and inflated and deflated the tube several times to distribute any kinks in the oversized tube.

  9. How to add Tannus Armour to InMotion V8 (and variants) Electric Unicycle (EUC), How did it do?: paso 8, imagen 1 de 1

    • Had another flat after 50 days and 240 miles. The armor is significantly compressed. The puncture was on the side wall, so a pinch puncture.
