There are indeed many ways to skin a cat! That looks like a good method Rich, using levers and chocks to do all the work for you.

Not sure how well that method would work out on roadside though!

On a more serious note, it is worth trying to practice and replicate a method at home that you could use when out on the road/trail; it could help you out of an awkward situation in the long run. Where possible try and use the tools that you would have available to hand on the bike.

You could even do it in the dark, maybe get the wife to spray you with a hose, or even kneel in some dog sh!t to make the tyre changing experience as realistic as possible!
