Tire Change

[daedong]

I thought I would share some pics of some of my tire changing tools. the first picture is a tool for breaking the bead. It is simple and very easy to use. It is adjustable to fit any rim. It fits across the rim and the flat end presses into one side between the rim and the tire. The other end does the same you then hold one lever in place and prise the bead off with the second lever. It takes about 1 min to break both beads.
For tubeless tires, the second tool is home made from a old gas cylinder, the end has a ball cock tap fitted and a tubeless valve stem fitted to the side. I pump it up to about 60 PSI. I use this to blow the tire on to the rim. The ball cock is positioned facing the bead seat, on opening the cock quickly the air bast blows the tire onto the bead seat

I've used quite a variety of tire changing tools in my life, growing up working in a service station/auto parts business, later in my brother's tire dealership, and helping another brother set up some tire equipment that he sold when he was a Matco Tool distributor, but I've never seen a bead breaker like that one. Very interesting.
