TAKE IT FROM THE PROS
The Rabaconda is, without a doubt, the quickest and easiest way to change your tire! It is race-tested by over 80 top riders and factory teams across the globe. You won’t see any other tire changer brand on the racing scene, and that is for a good reason. The Rabaconda is even approved by the AMA (American Motorcycling Association) as their official tire changer at the ISDE (International Six Days of Enduro).
“With the Rabaconda, I was able to change tires much faster than I ever had before, and with about half the effort I was used to putting in.” Taylor Robert, Factory FMF/KTM Team
“The Rabaconda helped me so much at the end of the long days to get the tires done with less time, and most of all, less effort!” Zach Osborne, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Race Team.
Video transcript:
The first thing you need to make sure of is to have your tire changer set up according to your wheel size because this will allow the unique bead breaker system to function as it's meant to. I'm using an 18-inch tire for the demo and I already have it here set up at the 18-inch marker.
Okay, let's get to the business. When changing a rear tire, it's always better to keep the disc side facing up because this will give you more room to operate the tire irons.
There's less chance of busting your knuckles or getting hurt. Start with releasing the rim lock. Release it almost to the very end of the rim lock bolt.
To start with the dismounting, position the rim lock straight across from the bead breaker system. Grab a tire iron and use the straight end for dismounting. The straight end is easier to insert. It is stronger. And later, it is easier to get them out between the tire and the rim.
Grab the rim handle. Position the bead breaker as close to the rim as possible. Sometimes the mousse can be really hard and it’s so difficult to get the tire irons between there. The key here us to put your body weight as close to the end of the green lever as you can, simultaneously pushing the tire iron. It's best done with one quick and strong movement... like that.
Make sure the tire iron is right next to the bead breaker because there you would have the most space to insert it. Grab another one. Leave about a 4-inch or 10-cm distance between the tire irons. Repeat the process.
And the 4th one… 4 tire irons are mostly enough when changing a mousse insert. Make sure you have the bead breaker close to the rim.
Now, before you start flipping them, it’s always good to test if they’re nicely in there. If you pull and they don't slide out, then it's all good.
With really hard mousse, there's also one trick to get the tire irons flipped easier. You need to brake the bead from the opposite side. This will allow the tire to come over the rim more easily. So, have some pressure there. Grab one in the middle first If and the other one in the middle. If you grab the ones in the middle first, then those two here won’t slide out. If you start with the one on the side, the other ones might slide out easily. Now you can see the straight ends come out easily between the tire.
Now that you have about a quarter of the tire dismounted, it's time to flip around the tire. Flip around the wheel… the sector which is just dismounted, position it under the bead breaker. Grab the handle again and start pushing the tire off.
First, push off the lower bead and the mousse so it's completely outside of the rim. Once it’s outside, again, start straight across from the rim lock and start pushing the tire completely off. Put some pressure here.
Here I have a really slippery tire so what you can do here is stick one tire iron here and push it off. Once you have it standing on top of the rim lock, now it's not possible to push it over like that because you're pushing straight on top of the rim lock. The guiding system should be brought here so you can simply slide it over the rim lock.
Now it’s actually possible to mount a new tire without taking the old one off. But I'm mounting the same tire here for the demo purpose. When mounting a tire with a mousse insert, make sure you have it prepared well.

Great video, it’s nice to see this done slow and explain the steps, most of the videos are showing how fast , thanks
Thanks for this highly informative video!
Earlier I had changed less than 10 tires in my whole life (with inflatable tubes) using tire irons. Now that I have mousses, I purchased the Rabaconda. Thanks to THIS video, I was able to replace the tire with minimum effort. To be honest, it took more time & effort to squeeze the old slippery bib inside the new tire than it did to install the tire on the rim!
The only difficulty was when removing the tire from the rim at the rimlock - somehow managed it anyway.
Kiitos Mika!!!
It takes more time to get it back in the bloody bag.
Than you so very much for this excelent instruction-video Tonu! I bought the Rabaconda and to change the tire of my Beta 390 is so much easyer! You make a very good job and the product is realy very good!
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you. Now I'm going to go practice!! Home lock down entertainment
Dude, that was the absolute best tutorial on a mousse bib tire swap I've seen yet.
thanks!
try it with a 10 to 12 psi mousse and a stiff tire (a long lasting tire) . Goog luck LOL@@Rabaconda
Superb tutorial Tonu, many thanks for posting.
If you break the disk doing that, it probably was a slice of cheese and not a brake disk. Good job!
Great video, I know the other videos want to show how fast it works but you go nice and slow so we can see how it’s done and why , thanks again now I’m going to practice on mine, how often do you lube your mousse ?
depends really on use. Dry climate, faster speeds will need lubing more often. But I'd personally check every few months or so
That machine looks pretty great! Good job
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Ernest Jonathan instablaster =)
This is better than other videos but I can't help feeling it's an awful lot easier mounting a used tyre and mousse than a new one. I would love to see a video with NEW Michelin Desert Race tyres and NEW Michelin Bib mousses. I laugh when I read "an easy 3-minute job", I have never managed less than 3 hours and the last two times I gave up with the Rabaconda and took the wheel to a professional tyre company. I am now about to do the same.
No reply to this from them and I agree. Let’s see one with a new stiff tire and brand new mousse
I managed to install new tyres and mousses with a rabaconda and it was a piece of cake, easily less than 10 minutes. I’ve just taken the front off to repair the rim (tyre done less than 5 miles but is 12m old) and it was off in about 3 mins, it took longer to set up the rabaconda than it did to remove the tyre
I'm okay at doing this. I'm not fast and I fit maybe 4 mousses in a year. The last pair I did were Michelin Enduro tyres, the set before that, Michelin Trackers. I've also used the Rabaconda to fit known difficult tyres, like the Anakee Wild but with inner tubes. It takes me about half an hour to 40 minutes to swap out a mousse. Girl on a Bikes video is the best video for me. Also, seeing a slim girl getting the tyre off without straining is a bit of a reminder for a strong man, who can shift big lumps of metal in the gym, that this is technique, not force. Getting the tyre into the drop centre with the levers is the magic trick. My first change took me about 2 hours with a stiff Mitas tyre. It gets better. I warm my tyres before I fit them if I can. It helps a little. My next change took me a bit over an hour, so if you've invested in one of these devices, do persevere. It's a combination of practice, a bit of confidence, and I use Soco tyre lube in a spray. It's still not a fun job, but these devices do work.
Excellent video, people moaning about brake disc have obs never changed a tyre ever
Thank you very much for this awesome instructional video... I take it the three minute is if everything is immaculate and the new tyre and mousse is ready to go LOL 😂
Once you get a hold on the technique, anything is possible. But yes, three minutes is the time pro racers can do it, like Brandy Richards changing a rear tire with mousse insert for the following raceday in 2:30

Mine arrived today. Changed my front and rear with mousse for the first time. My biggest problem was to put the first side of the tyre on. Showed at 7 min 12 sec. Even small steps were nearly impossible with my Metzler Mc360 140/80-18. In every video I saw it looked as a very easy step. Any tips? I used straight leavers. Yours doesnt arrived today. Everything else was super easy love the product!
When you lay your tire on the wheel and hook one side of the tire inside the rim to starting pulling over the rim from opposite side, there is one trick that can help: lift the tire up from where you hooked it inside the rim (close to you, opposite from where you will pull with tire irons). Often people push it down from there, so the tire is a bit diagonal compared to the wheel. Not good. But if you pull it up, it is easier to get it over the rim from opposite side. Did that make any sense?
@@Rabaconda Yes it makes sense. 1 year later I changed a lot tires no more problems.
Is there a video showing how to change a tyre/mousse with two rim locks? It definitely complicates the process.

@@Rabaconda thanks 👍
I need that garage
I just attempted my RABACONDA tire changer on a tubed 21" inch front tire ( 90/90-21). Mitas E07 tire. This is my first try and had some questions.
1) I noticed the bead breaker tire support adjuster moved slightly off 21" inch mark. I think made it hard for me to removing the tire. Anyway to keep that leg from moving?
2) With a tubed tire, can I leave the tube in wheel I dismount the tire, or should I try to remove it before attempted to pop entire tire off?
3) I assume it is OK to use some kind of lube to break bead and remove tire?
4) The you flip the tire to remove it, should the saw tooth edge of the bead breaker be pushing the very edge of the tire ( closest to rim )?
5) When I come to mount my new tube tire, should I install the tube with 5 PSI and mount it like a mouse?
Thanks.
Kam
Hi Kam! Few ideas: 1) best to adjust the wheel supports relatively close to the rim. If they keep sliding on the base, just tighten the cam lever nut a bit more. 2) 2 ways: empty the tube and pull it out, or I prefer way more to leave around 5psi in the tube and push the tire off together with tube inside the tire. Like with mousse. 3) oh yeah, either professional tire lube or we usually use just diluted soap water spray 4) regarding bead breaker position: when pushing the tire off, see where it has best grip. With mousse, usually you push from middle of the tire side wall, as mousse holds the tire in form. but if with tube, then I guess the bead breaker might start slipping over. Then it's better to bring it closer to rim where it has better grip. 5) Yes, that's what we prefer to do. Again, 2 methods. a) when dismounting the tire, pull out the tube, when mounting, push in the tube. But it's so much more hassle! We prefer to leave air in the tube and push it off like with mousse when dismounting tire and put on the whole tire (with slightly inflated tube inside the tire) when mounting the tire. First install the valve through the valve hole, fix with nut and then push the rest of the tire on the rim. Hope that helps! Tnx!
@@Rabaconda Thank you for detailed and prompt responses to my questions. Looks like a solid tire changing stand. I'll keep practicing and working on my technique. Kam
@@Rabaconda I just installed a new front tire on my KTM 690 Enduro R. With a IRC heavy duty tube and Motoz Tractionator Adventure tire. I followed your recommendation with regarding to adjusting the three wheel supports close to the rim, slightly inflating my tube and stuffing it into my tire like a moose, using tire lube on the edge of tire bead, inserting the valve stem through wheel rim hole on opposite side of Rabaconda bead breaker, using the provided tire irons properly, watching your excellent videos, and everything worked out like a breeze. Shocking !! Very quick to pop a new tire on and a LOT less on knees.
Once my fellow riders hear about this, I am sure there going to want try one of these stands.
Thanks.
Kam
@@greatfallskam Thanks for the feedback and we're really glad it took the pain out of this process!
@@greatfallskam Once your fellow riding buddies find out, they will want you to change their tires. I recommend charging a 6 pack of your favorite brew per wheel 😆
I bought a used bike, I then found out that the bead on the rear tire wasn’t set all the way and wobbles slightly when driving. The bib is already in it. How do I set the bead with it already in there
usually by going over 70kph the bead tends to seat due to inertia
I can’t seem to get the tire on. I can’t hook one side under the bead lock… it just won’t stay. ANY HELP PLEASE
Hi Max. Yes, we'd gladly help! Let me know at support@rabaconda.com few things: a) are you using mousse, b) is it over sized?, c) is the struggle with bead lock when mounting FIRST side of the tire or mounting the SECOND side of the tire? d) if second side of the tire, then at what point are you trying to hook the tire under the rim lock? in the beginning, middle or in the end of mounting the tire? Tnx, Jakob
How do you balance the tire?
You don't if it's a dirt bike. If Adventure bike, depends on riding. If mostly off-road, no need to balance. If mostly asphalt and high speeds, then use a manual tire balancer to do it yourself. Takes some 10-15 minutes per tire maximum
What do we do out on the trail
Well that’s the whole point of using bib mousses. You don’t get flats out on the trail
@@Rabaconda how do I get more information on this product
@@rjh2772 for bib mousses you can check for example NitroMousse or Michelín. For the tire changer you can check us.Rabaconda.com.
OMG. Why. Why. Why haven’t I seen this before.

My riding has a better chance of breaking a disc rotor over my inabilities while changing a mousse.
Verkauft ihn günstiger dann kaufen ihn auch viele
Ich wünschte, wir könnten es zum halben Preis verkaufen, Millionen verkaufen und reich werden 🤩. Leider sind die Herstellungskosten zu hoch
less talk more demo
Only problem is it’s not worth $650
Why would you pay that?? It only costs 395$ actually
@@jexpertor in Canada where I live $650 plus tax
@Yo Joe Thank you for your valuable contribution! You seem to be well informed guy, how about you list here some manufacturer contacts who can do it under $100?
@Yo Joe We're manufacturing in Europe and the cost price is pretty much light years apart from what you mention. Talking about bottom line in RUclips is not really our handwriting, or any company's I believe :) So still, kindly hook us up with a manufacturer who can do it under $100 as you seem to know. (Please note that most of the business is done via distributors or resellers. Not difficult math how it builds up...)
@@Rabaconda it’s way over priced enough said… I bought a different brand one and it works amazing only cost $89.99 and I’ve never had an easier time changing a tire. Thanks for nothing Rabaconda it doesn’t pay to be greedy you just lose customers.
I read this as a good option for adv bikes if you like to change tires a lot. It looks like it eats rims for breakfast and seems ridiculously overpriced seeing as they didn't design it to balance tires as well when they could've easily designed an extra leg where you can turn it on it's side so you can freely spin the tire in its natural vertical position so you can easily balance your tire, making this an all in 1 tire changing machine and greatly increasing this products value for $$$. Doing so would probably lead me to purchase one. If this were $350 and doubled as a tire balancing stand then I'm sold. Cheers
