The vevor and the shed seemed the best. Vevor in my shopping cart... Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
All those different tips with the 2x4 are VERY nice! Already ordered the motion pro, I might carry them in my backpack in case of emergency.
Very high quality video, you deserve way more subs and views man!
Thanks for the kind words and glad you learned something from the video! I'll keep the videos coming and hopefully the subs will follow!
That trick with the long wooden plank was nice! Thanks
You bet!
I got new tyres just last weekend on my RC and had to pay 800 to get them changed. I'll try this the next time. Great video. Thank you :)
Awesome! It's a great skill to have!
Great shirt Ben - YETI ARMY!
YES!!!! I was wondering if anyone would notice!
As a wood worker I went with three 12" Jorgensen wood clamps. They worked great because as you open/spread the back of the clamp, the front pinches in nicely. I also set the wheel/tire in the sun for a bit to soften it up.
those clamps look like they would work much better than a C-clamp!
Great video!
Thanks!
Really enjoying your videos...thanks for your efforts
Thanks for watching!
Amazing thank you so much 👌
You’re welcome! Please subscribe if you haven’t. If you keep watching, I’ll keep posting.
When you set the tire down by the bike to break it down with the kickstand, I thought, "No way would I attempt that alone." Glad you chose not to as well. Good video.
Hahahah, I had actually planned to try it, but way too sketchy unless it’s an emergency.
That's a great video. Thank you.
Could you please video of the tire works if we are stuck in a forest for example. I suppose In that case we have other conditions and that would be an awesome video also.
Thank you again for your teaching. ❤
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion! Hopefully I won't HAVE to do a repair in the woods anytime soon, but I'll think about how I can shoot that.
Great video ! even though I ride an older R1200RT 99% pavement , lots of great info!
Thanks! Do you change your own tires? I actually enjoy doing it (usually) and find it's much quicker to do myself than to have to bring my bike or wheels to a shop.
Oh yeah I learned years ago, love working on my bike it’s therapeutic for me,I adjusted my valves last week (hex head) . But I will cut up wife’s laundry jug for rim savers from now on, Great tip.
Hey mustache dude; thanks for this video. That was awesome. I appreciate all the different ways you showed, but I'm sure I'm not using the motorcycle or back-in-the-car-up method unless I'm going to die if I don't. There's no might about it. It is sketchy. Thanks again for the video
Thanks! A little sketchy can be good, but the thought of dropping my bike while trying to fix it isn't pleasant.
Hi Ben, there is another method. For years I have used the garden spade technique. Simply place the spade on the bead and stand on it. You will need to support the rim on two pieces of 4 x 2.
ahhh, that sounds like a winner too! I imagine you use a flat spade, not a pointed one. Thanks for sharing... keep watching and I'll keep posting!
You can reduce the strain by using a piece of pipe to lengthen the handle on the clamp and improve your leverage.
Now that's a simple and smart solution. Thanks, keep watching and I'll keep posting!
That’s messed up. I’ve tried the two by four driving on and the c clamp and it got one bead broke and 3 lived. Then the 2x4 snapped in half. Guess my truck is too heavy for the job. After church I’m gonna try the 2x4 leverage shed option and then probably ask Walmart if they will break it. I’m running out of options.
man, those must either be some tough tires or maybe they've been on the rim a LONG time. Good luck and let me know what ends up working
That YMCA mustache 😄
hahahah
I've used all those methods except for the backing up the car onto 2x4. But it's kind of cheating with that tire - try one of those super-stiff sidewall tires like a Heidenau K60 and they don't work so good. I've used TyrePliers from Australia which were OK but rather expensive and I managed to break the tool on a particularly difficult tire, and then tried BeadBuster which in my opinion is by far the best. Also small enough that you can take it on the road, albeit a bit heavy. Wish they made one out of Aluminum...
It's the only tire I had, so that's what I had to work with! The BeadBuster looks interesting.
Break the bread.

Hahahhahs
Now show us the easiest way to remove the tire
ask and you shall receive! ruclips.net/video/f3dRSIJ-UI0/видео.html
as someone who's been changing motorcycle tires of all sizes for more than 40 years i think most experienced bikers would agree that your effort to level the field by pre-breaking the tire pretty much rendered all your subsequent tire removal evaluations irrelevant. Again i think most would agree that your outcomes would have been totally different had you been using a separate long time mounted wheel and tire for each of your different evaluations. there is no way those little spoons would ever break a tire that's been mounted and weathered for 10 years or more. while i can appreciate all the effort you put in to the video, i'd be remiss if i didn't say that in 40 years all i've ever need to break a bead is a bench vise but then again all the tires i've ever changed were worn out and i didn't care if they got damaged in the process, if i were going to R&R the same tire over and over again then my method probably wouldn't work out to well.........
If I had had four bikes with worn out tires it certainly would have been much more accurate, but since I didn't I figured this was the best way to compare the methods. That being said, the first time I broke the tire (before shooting the video) I used the two-piece tool and it broke the bead just as easily as in the video and surprised the hell out of me. The tire had been mounted for 8,000+ miles.
Yep. I'm removing a tire right now thats been on a while. I tried with the spoons just for kicks. Didn't think it would work. I'm at home and have plenty of tolls but want to use only what i would have on the bike during a camping trip. So going to use the c-clamp.
Hey...just ride enough so ur tires don't stay mounted for 10 yrs...haha I just finished struggling with the 3 spoons method on my harley...still worked was just a pain
I used a wood splitter to break a tire bead down this one time, Maybe avoid that technique.
hahahahahahah
fantastic
Thanks, hope the ideas help. Keep watching and I'll keep posting!
