recycled 0 Posted May 29, 2013 For all the people that expressed interest in the "tire tool" that Afry posted a while back, now is your opportunity to get one. EvanADV on the Adventure Rider site is sponsoring a group buy. The sign up ends on June 30th and below is the link to the sign up page. He is looking for a minimum order of 25 and it looks like the list is growing quickly. I see "Wintyfresh" at the top of the list, is that the same person from SDAR??

Afry 1 Posted May 29, 2013 This is a good tool - I would buy again. I now change my own tires and did not - would not before. I even bought the balancer from Harbor Freight for a complete job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
97xr400r 122 Posted May 29, 2013 Has anyone tried these on street bike 17" tires? I tried mounting my supermoto tires and wound up giving up, I couldn't even break the bead without being worried about damaging the sidewall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does not remove the old tire or break beads. It is simply a hub centric "pusher" device that allow the tire to be stretched over the rim by pushing vice levering with a tire iron. For breaking beads on a super-moto wheel, I favor the 2x4's and trailer hitch method (or some variation of this). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
