Super slick tire mounting tool

[typeone]

This thing is brilliant. Vid isn't in English but it doesn't matter...



Made in Estonia by Kaurit-Moto, ~$180 shipped to US I think

Not enough sweating, swearing, or busted fingers in that method for me....

That's awesome.

[Kurlon]

Hrmmm... I like what I'm seeing there.

[OreoGaborio]

Oh wow... That's one of those things where the second I saw him start using it I was like "Holy shit, how has no one come up with this before?"

[KB]

Interesting but 180 I think I am quicker with my levers.

I bet it would make ice tires easier.

Neat. Now do it with a set of ice tires

[breakdirt916]

Good luck with a street tire.

HHHMMM

I never bought a machine because it took up to much room

That might be worth it, curious if it has to scratch the rims

Good thing this is in the dirty bastards section then.

I would say yes, for sure! But tire irons and spoons also scratch rims..along with dirt, rocks, sticks, etc.

If I was going to change more than a couple sets of dirtbike tires a season, it may be worth it?

Never changed a 'dirty' tire. Does the bead want to slip off on the other side of the tire like a mo-fo like it does with my street tires?

Seems too easy.

the guy who bought/tested the tool over on CafeHusky wants to swap some parts from steel to aluminum to pack it for trail-side use on epic rides. great idea.

handing $15 to Adam at OCR is the fastest method for me

anyone interested in a group buy on this tool?

Kelly over at Motosportz is looking into pricing. i'll update this tread when i hear more.

[Paul_E_D]

I would buy that! Oh, and KB, if you are faster with spoons, I'll blow you...

Dear god let the tool be quick or KB be slow!

Subscribed to see what the group price on this is. Has anyone tried this on street tires that have a stiffer sidewall than dirt tires? How do you guys like to balance your tires? Anyone using the dynabeads?

Just wait a year. Harbor Freight will have a Chinese knock off for $29.

And a $5 off coupon.

[Kitt]

it's awesome how easy it looks when putting a 19" tire on an 18" rim

[gamorg02]

you're still using spoons to get the tire off eh?
