| $5 bead breaker its Genuis Bead Breaker for Motorcycle Tires - webBikeWorld Internet BMW Riders - DIY $5 Bead Breaker that works every time ... quickly I was looking into getting set up to change my own tires and came across this. Its genius, I have see some home built bead breakers but this is just so simple. You can make a tire balance with using the bikes axle and making a stand either out of two chairs or 2x4 if you want to be elaborate. All you need is a compressor and tire irons. | |

| Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis About every semi-serious sport touring guy in the country has built a version of that in his garage at one time or another. It's usually screwed to the wall using a barn door hinge. A bit neanderthal, but they actually work pretty well...

| Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis Oh man... talk about a bad idea to break the bead. That's rocker panel damage waiting to happen. I thought you were going to show us a useful tool. |

 worked for me. I slip the board under my trucks step rails no issues so far. It does take some practice though to get the angle right. | |

| Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis I've see a C-Clamp used somewhere... Wouldn't that be easier/cheaper/smaller/less likely to damage your car? |

| Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis I triend that once. All I succeeded in doing was picking up my pickup truck for a half dozen repetitions. It didnt budge the bead at all. :-) Blue [quote=ucfmotorcycle1;496987]Bead Breaker for Motorcycle Tires - webBikeWorld Internet BMW Riders - DIY $5 Bead Breaker that works every time ... quickly |

  | Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis The webbikeworld method is the best! Well, when the local stealer wants $45 just to mount a tire, the 2x4 method is the best. I usually have to use a 4x4 for the lever if doing the back tire. The only real problem is if you don't get the fulcrum in the right place, it won't work at all.

| Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis Here, its $40 to mount a tire on a rim plus $15 to balance it. This is if I take the wheel off the bike and take the shop just the wheel and tire. Its another $30 per wheel if the shop has to remove and reinstall the wheel on the bike. Blue Quote:

| Re: $5 bead breaker its Genuis I studied this: Guide To Changing Motorcycle Tires Then bought this: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices and Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices haven't gone to the shop for a tire change since. I even change my friends bike and ATV tires. |
