Good job! Just to add to your wish list: motion pro bead breaker ( works fantastic), Baja no pinch (awesome for getting a tire on), grab some valve cap/core removers from your auto store. Yup, they make a valve cap that doubles as a core remover. Eliminates needing an extra tool. Also, I have found putting the tube into the tire before mounting ( place the stem in place first) works really well. See, that tire stand works awesome eh? Better than working on the floor!
Sweet!! Thanks for the insight! I knew they make a valve cap core remover, I've just had this tool since working with Harley all those years ago. I'll try that with the new tube and tire I replace!
I like to get some talcum powder/ baby powder on the inside of my tyres and rub the tube with to. some people use silicon spray. it helps the tube flex and move better while inside the tyre. so its low friction. also i prefer to put the tube in the valve hole before I put a tyre on. Those tyre stands i have one (Halfords)i used it once, i found it more trouble then the time i saved than not using it. when i have trouble breaking the bead using a big G-clamp. I have found that soapy water makes it stick more. once it all dry's up. curious what those motion pro ones will be like.

That's some excellent insight! Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment!
Dawn, you can wash ducks with it
🤣 Exactly!
You should try Rodney's idea of making it tubeless. If the new Bradley tires get good reviews, that will be my next project.
Yeah I will have to look more into that. I can't wait to get the tires from Bradleys!
If your doing it at home use a jack & a couple boards to break the bead.
That's good to know! Haven't tried that yet
🤟🖤🤟
Thanks Atilla!
