I haven't change a tire in over 12 years. Busted knuckes, pinched tubes etc. etc.
He makes it so easy I'm going to give it a go.

Thanx for the link.

I cant tell ya how many tires I have mounted, probably upwards of 200
I had learned by the time I was 15 about the "bead buddy " but I made mine out of a wood block way before it came out. pretty much the same principal, that and baby powder. the only drawback of being able to do a 15 min. tire job is all your freakin freinds and their freinds are over havin you change their tires. not to complain I get some beer out of it!
My knuckles have been busted soo many times,
now they break teeth off the sprocket instead of the other way around

Havent busted one knuckle or pinched one tube



I have found that a C clamp on the opposite side of the tire helps A LOT with the 19" ones.

anything that keeps the bead in the drop center of the rim is the key to a smooth install.

ya, those 19's are a biotch especially when you are using a crappy 125 1.85" rim I really need to shit-can that thing!
