Hey guys,

Thinking about getting a bead breaker and some other stuff to change tyres myself.

couple of quick questions

1. Is it worth it?
2. What's good stuff to go for?
3. How much should i be looking to pay for bead breaker, tyre irons, protectors and anything else i need?
4. Anyone in the trade that can get them all a bit cheaper for me?

i want something that can be mobile so i can take it places with me when i improve

Cheers all

 

I've got one. There about £40-50 with leavers. the plastice things are good but i get pissed off with them and just change my rubber without them. Scratches the **** out of the rim but **** it.

There easy enough but can be a bitch and dirty. Also you dont have the balanced but thats not a problem for me. Worth a go.

 

Lee, did you just buy one from demon tweeks?

 

I Use A Bike Kickstand To Break The Bead And A 25 Dollr Set Of Craftsman Pry Barsand It Works Great

 

A mate did, then i paid £15 for them off him :YEAH

 

all you need is some spoons and to break the beed i just run over the tire with my truck (just dont run over the rim) and line up the dot with the air stim. and i never balance

 

:YEAH ghostie made a great vid showing you how to do it:YEAH
