I find the long handled bead breaker easier to use than a g clamp. It also gives me a useful platform from which to work.

I would be interested in knowing the process you use in changing a tyre. There is a ytube vid using a piece of rope to get a tyre off - looked too easy!

When I get the time I'll do a write up, and maybe when I next change a tyre I'll do a video.

I've seen several DIY 'heath robinson' rigs for beab-braking and balancing (and Gary you're not the only one who I've heard suggesting that balancing is less necessary nowadays - at least for smaller tyres at legal road speeds.) I will probably have at least a couple of sets to change this year so I may indulge myself in a few bits and pieces and learn. (Being the family maintainer overseeing multiple vehicles can be a double edged sword! ![]()
