Re: Tyre machines / manual bead breakers etc?
At least with a wooden one you will not chip or mark the rims.

Re: Tyre machines / manual bead breakers etc?
Balancers are easy. Have a look at a pro manual balancer for ideas. Just need a coule bits of 3x1 with Vs cut in the top a bar to put through the wheel and some cone shaped pointy things to go in the wheels. Its all about it moving with little friction.
As i said though, seems a lot of effort to save £35 once a year/6 months dependent on tyre use. |

Re: Tyre machines / manual bead breakers etc?
Its simple.... I'm a tight ****
Personally I think 35 quid just to swap tyres is ridiculous. Second tyre swap this year. |

Re: Tyre machines / manual bead breakers etc?
Also very helpful not having to p*ss about taking it elsewhere, do it yourself whenever.

Re: Tyre machines / manual bead breakers etc?
And if you've got a couple of bikes it's even better.
Bloody stupid Wideboy putting ideas in peoples heads. Give me a few months and I'll make one for the garage, if for no other reason than I can and it'll look great in the garage next time my dad comes down.
